General  Information. 


Bring  in  the  daily  receipt  of  numerous  "  letters  of  inquiry,"  we  give  the  foUowing 
iaformation,  iu  brief,  in  anticipation  of  future  interrogatories  : 

Time  or  Commencemknt. —  Students  can  oomincnce  at  any  time,  as  there  are  no  vaca- 
tions. Each  pupil  receives  individual  instruction.  Two  evils  are  thus  avoided :  no 
person  will  be  drawn  along  by  a  class  faster  than  he  can  comprehend  fully  the  subject 
matter  of  what  he  is  going  over,  neither  will  he  bo  retarded  by  a  class  that  can 
not  progress  as  rapidly  as  himself. 

Tkums,  etc. —  Tuition,  payable  in  advance,  by  purchase  of  scholarship,  $10,  for 
the  full  course.  Stationery  will  cost  from  $5  to  $10,  according  to  quality  of  articles 
used.  Board,  with  room,  can  readily  be  obtained  in  good  private  families,  by  appli- 
cation at  the  college  rooms,  at  from  $2.50  to  $3.50  per  week.  Tho  total  expense, 
therefore,  for  ten  weeks,  which  is  rather  more  than  the  average  time,  need  not 
exceed  $S0. 

Full  Course. —  Persons  having  paid  their  tuition  once,  by  purchase  of  scholar- 
ship, may  attend  either  of  the  colleges  as  long  as  they  please,  having  the  privilege 
of  completing  the  course  at  their  option.  They  may,  also,  review  the  same  as 
often  as  they  may  desire,  and  are  entitled  to  all  the  privileges  of  tho  mercantile 
course,  in  either  institution,  in  future,  free  of  additional  charge.  Under  no  circum- 
stances, therefore,  will  the  tuition  fees,  or  any  part  thereof,  be  refunded. 

Pkeparatory  Education. —  A  knowledge  of  the  ordinary  English  branches  is 
sufficient,  preparatory  to  entering  upon  the  course  of  studies. 

Graduates. —  Students  who  complete  the  entire  course,  and  pass  t^e  requisite 
examination,  will  receive  diplomas,  and  no  others. 

Business  Hours. —  The  office  and  other  rooms  will  be  open,  for  business  and 
instruction,  every  business  day  of  the  year,  from  8  o'  clock,  A.  M.,  to  5  o'clock,  P.  M. 

Evening  Sessions. —  The  rooms  will  be  open,  evenings,  from  the  l5th  of  Octo- 
ber to  the  15th  of  April.  Persons  in  the  city,  engaged  in  business,  can  complete 
the  full  course,  by  attending  evenings  only.  Those  wishing  to  take  penmanship 
alone  can  also  receive  thorough  instruction  during  the  evening. 

Employment. —  The  principals  and  teachers  of  this  chain  of  colleges  have  an  ex- 
tensive business  acquaintance  in  each  of  the  large  commercial  cities  where  their  col- 
leges are  located,  and  always  consider  it  a  pleasure,  as  well  as  a  duty,  to  further  the 
best  interests  of  their  graduates.  This  influence,  alone,  is  worth,  to  a  young  man, 
the  price  of  a  scholarship. 

Accountants,  Agents, ^tc. — Business  men  will  fino  it  to  their  advantage  to  call 
at  our  office,  or  address  us  through  post,  when  in  want  of  an  accountant,  salesman, 
collector,  or  agent.  They  can  always  be  furnished  with  a  reliable  person  for  either 
of  the  above  named  positions,  and,  generally,  with  persons  who  have  had  several 
years'  experience  iu  the  same,  if  preferred.

points,  under  (he  patronage  of  the  Colleges,  hag  met  with  the  warmest  appreciation  of  the 
public.  The  Course  before  the  New-York  College,  at  Cooper  Institute,  has  been  specially 
commended  by  the  press  of  that  city,  and  is  in  high  favor  with  th.c  business  community. 
Tlie  following  notices  arc  all  that  we  can  liud  space  for : —

Paukauu's  Lecture— Tho  IiitroJuctoiy  Lecture 
at  the  .Aloi-cantile  OoUefje,  Cooper  Institute,  was 
delivered  last  oveninR-,  by  Professor  S.  S.  Packard. 
The  .subject  was  '"  The  History  and  Sphere  of 
CommiTcial  Colleges."  The  lecturer  gave  a  re- 
•view  of  the  most  approved  methods  of  imparting 
.a  commercial  an<l  business  education,  and  de- 
^tailed  the  lii-tory  of  this  specialty  in  instruction

Free  Lecture  Coorsb  at  Coopee  Institcte. 
— The  course  of  Free  Lectures  to  be  delivered 
during  the  season,  before  Bryant  &  Stratton's 
Mercantile  College,  in  Cooper  Institute,  was  in- 
augurated last  evening  by  Mr.  S.  S.  Packard,  the 
Superintendent,  in  a  lecture  on  the  "History 
and  Sphere  of  Commercial  Colleges,"  delivered  to 
a  large  audience  in  Room  No.  23  of  that  Imilding. 
The  lecture  was  a  conci.se  and  able  review  of 
•  commercial  education  in  this  countrj',  abounding 
in  wholesome  .suggestions  and  happy  illustra- 
tions, and  clearly  showing  the  advantages  of  a 
thorough  training  in  the  science  of  busine-s.  The 
idea  of  a  free  course  of  lectures  to  young  men, 
under  the  auspices  of  such  an  institution,  is  one 
that  should  be  hailed  with  pleasure,  and  be  met 
in  a  spirit  of  generous  appreciation.  We  lenrn 
that  the  lectures  will  be  delivered  regulaily  on 
Monday  evening  of  each  week,  by  the  prominent 
speakers  of  the  .city,  upon  topics  of  general  in- 
terest.

Hoys.  Clinton  Koosevelt  lectured  last  even- 
ing before  Bryant  &  Stratton's  Mercantile  Col- 
lesre,  at  the  Cooper  Institute,  to  a  respectable 
audience,  on  "  The  History  of  Money  in  all  Ages." 
The  lecturer  held  that  the  present  banking  system 
in  Wall-^:treel  is  no  better  than  the  principles 
upon  which /aro  banks  are  conducted  in  secret 
placets  on  Broadway.  Although  he  did  not  ad- 
vocate wholly  the  Democratic  system  of  "hard 
money."  the  lecturer  utterly  condemns  our  pres- 
ent financial  systems,  and  claimed  that  had  not 
the  late  cri.sis  come  upon  us  to  break  up  the 
banks  we  m^ght  soon  h.-vve  been  importing  wheat 
at  03  cents  per  bushel,  while  the  price  in  Chicago 
was  SI  2J.  Judge  Roosevelt  proposes,  at  some 
future  time,  to  take  up  our  system  by  it-elf.  point 
out  its  error.^.  and  recommend  a  system  of  ex- 
change, which,  in  his  opinion,  were  it  to  supersede 
the  present,  would  revolutionize  the  industrial 
Interests  of  the  country  by  protecting  the  laborer 


and  consumer  against  the  .'loths  and  stock  gam- 
blers. The  lecturer  is  understood  to  be  one  of 
the  prominent  advocates  of  the  "Bullion"  Itank 
enteriirise.  lately  so  much  discu.s.sed,  where  de- 
posits are  propo-eil  to  be  retained  in  specie,  and 
the  depositors  charged  a  per-centago  for  eafo 
keeping.

Capt.  Bell's  Lecture  on  Nautical  Sciencbi 
AND  the  State  of  our  Mercantile  Marine. — 
Capt.  J.  II.  Bell.  Professor  of  Maritime  Law  and 
Navigation  at  Bryant  &  Stratton's  Mercantile 
College,  Cooper  Institute,  delivered,  on  Monday 
evening,  a  most  interesting  lecture  on  the  sciences 
which  he  professes,  and  on  the  state  of  our  mer- 
cantile marine.  The  lecture  was  extemporaneous, 
and  the  speaker  took  a  very  wide  scope.  The 
Captain  first  spoke  of  the  chain  of  national  mer- 
cantile colleges,  their  object,  and  success  .'  They 
were  working  a  glorious  reform  among  the  young 
men  of  the  country.  There  was  a  .specialty  in 
their  character  and  object,  which  was  to  establi.sh 
on  a  firm  basis  a  national  system  of  mercantile 
and  nautical  education,  to  elucidate  truth,  to 
detect  error,  and  to  pre.scribo  and  adminis'Lcr  the 
cure.  Tlie  healing  proce-^.s  rested  with  the  mer- 
cantile community,  whoso  duty  it  was  to  support, 
animate,  and  confirm  the  exertions  which  theso 
colleges  were  making— to  sustain  our  national 
character  as  a  thoroughly-practical  and  com- 
petent commercial  nation. 

The  inelficiency  of  cominandors  and  ofllcers  in 
our  mercantile  marine  had  long  been  complained 
of,  and  not  without  cause.  The  speaker,  as  a 
seaman,  jjleaded  guilty  to  the  charge;  but  th» 
fault  rested  with  landsmen,  who  had  liitherto 
neglected  to  provide  the  means  of  educating 
American  youth  for  the  duties  of  a  profession 
which  was  as  ancient  as  it  is  honorable.  The 
great  loses  which  occuired  annually,  .showed  the 
necessity  for  a  reform;  the  press,  with  its  thou- 
sand tongues,  should  proclaim  the  injustice,  and 
the  danger  of  a  longer  delay  in  bringing  this  f-ub- 
ject  before  our  legislature.  It  wa-s  a  fallacy  to 
suppose  that  nautical  science  could  not  be  taught 
in  schools.  Here  the  speaker  enumerated  a  long 
list  of  qualifications  which  every  seaman  in  ofiico 
should  possess,  and  which  could  not  be  learned 
at  .sea,  and  showed  in  the  most  eloquent  manner 
that,  by  educating  our  seamen,  wo  should  have 
a  right  to  claim,  in  truth,  to  be  the  greatest  com- 
mercial nation  in  the  world.  If  the  public  press 
would  VL-c  its  powerful  influence  during  the  pres- 
ent session  of  Congress,  our  legislators  would 
not.  could  not.  remain  blind  to  the  best  intere-ita 
of  the  country,  but  would  adopt  such  measures 
as  would  secure  the  rights  of  seamen,  security  to 
property,  and  the  safety  of  all  travelers  by  sea. 
The  lecturer  then  gave  a  short  dissertation  on 
the  benefits  of  admitting  seamen  to  the  rights  of 
free  citizens  among  a  free  people,  spoke  of  "  freo 
tr.ade  and  sailor.s'  rights'"  at  some  length,  and 
closed  amid  the  most  enthusiastic  appl.au.se  of 
the  audience.

INTRODUCTORY. 

The  gratifying  success  which  has  attended  the  efforts  of  the  under- 
signed in  estabhshing  a  national  system  of  commercial  education,  and 
the  inquiries  which  meet  them  on  every  hand  toucliing  the  workings  of 
their  institutions,  have  rendered  the  present  j)uhlic;ation  necessary  ; 
and  they  trust  will  afford  a  sufficient  apology  for  entering  somewliat 
minutely  into  the  history  and  plans  of  the  enterprise,  to  which  they 
have  devoted,  and  are  devoting  their  entire  energies. 

In  these  days  of  rival  claims  in  all  departments  of  science  and  indus- 
try, a  bare  assertion  of  the  superiority  of  any  particular  effort  should 
be  entitled  to  no  credit ;  and  he  who  proposes  to  enter  the  arena,  should 
do  so  with  the  full  understanding  that  success  is  deserved  only  as  the 
result  of  merit ;  and  that  although,  for  a  time,  lofty  pretensions  may 
seem  to  outweigh  more  humble  and  intelligent  action,  the  genuine 
coin  must  eventually  supplant  the  counterfeit,  and  true  merit  alone 
will  ultimately  escape  the  disaster  of  public  condemnation. 

There  is,  perhaps,  no  department  of  education  more  liable  to  the 
charge  of  inefficiency,  as  generally  pursued,  than  that  of  commercial 
science  ;  and  we  think  it  not  too  much  to  assume,  that  in  the  majority 
of  literary  institutions  where  it  is  pretended  to  be  tnught  "  thoroughly," 
there  is  imparted  little  or  no  practical  knowledge  of  accounts.  The 
reasons  are  evident  at  first  view :  in  the  first  place,  no  proper  facilities 
are  afforded,  even  if  competent  teachers  could  be  had ;  secondly,  the 
teachers  are  not  had,  if  the  facilities  were  at  hand  ;  and  thirdly,  and 
conclusively,  if  both  teachers  and  facilities  were  available,  the  proper 
space  of  time  can  not  be  afforded,  in  connection  with  other  studies. 

It  would  be  quite  as  sensible  to  think  of  educating  a  young  man 
for  the  ministry,  or  the  practice  of  medicine  or  law,  at  an  "  upper 
crust"  boarding  school,  as  to  hope  to  qualify  him  for  the  duties  of  an 
accountant  at  any  institution  where  commercial  science  is  not  the  spe- 
ciality. This  position  is  more  than  sustained  by  the  facts  ;  and  it  is 
because  this  is  so,  that  it  has  become  necessary  to  establish  institutions 
having  particular  and  only  reference  to  those  studies  which  perfect  the 
student  in  the  practical  duties  of  business  life.  \Ye  shall  enter  into 
no  argument  to  prove  that  this  science,  like  every  other,  can  be  learned ; 
notwithstanding  the  objections  daily  urged  against  such  a  position  by 
those  who  claim  that  "nothing  can  be  learned  without  expej'iettcey 


12  INTRODUCTORY. 

The  fact  that  our  most  cniinont  practical  men  are  men  of  acquired 
science,  capable  of  reasoning  from  cause  to  effect,  and  willing  to  avail 
themselves  of  the  results  of  principles  and  experiments  not  their  own, 
if  it  teach  any  tiling,  teaches  that  the  experience  of  others  may  be 
prolific  of  soundest  lessons  of  wisdom  to  us  ;  and  that  knowledge  thus 
obtained  may  be  put  to  as  practical  purposes  as  if  the  experience,  and 
not  alone  the  lessons  drawn  from  it,  had  been  our  own. 

We  say,  that  in  order  to  teach  commercial  science  effectually^  spe- 
cial institutions  are  necessary  ;  but  we  would  not  be  understood  to 
infer  that,  consequently,  all  institutions  having  this  science  for  a  spe- 
ciality do  teach  it  effectually.  On  the  other  hand,  we  hazard  nothuig 
in  saying,  that  in  no  special  institutions  in  the  country  is  there  more 
pretense,  and  less  real  merit,  than  in  "  commercial  schools,"  so  called. 

This  is,  perhaps,  a  bold  and  ungracious  assertion ;  and,  coming  from 
this  source,  might  better  not  be  made.  The  asseition,  however,  nei- 
ther charges  nor  establishes  the  fact,  the  truth  of  which  is  well  un- 
derstood by  all  who  have  given  the  subject  any  attention ;  and  we 
mention  it  because  we  would  not  be  thought  to  ignore  what  is  known 
to  be  true,  and,  for  the  better  reason,  that  no  institution,  whatever  its 
claims,  can  wholly  escape  the  odium  which  attaches  to  the  class  to 
which  it  may,  unfortunately,  belong. 

It  is  no  jmrt  of  our  purpose  to  wage  war  against  our  competitors, 
for  wo  should  not  deserve  the  consideration  of  fair-minded  men,  nor 
the  success  to  wliich  we  have  already  attained,  did  we  not  gladly  ac- 
knowledge the  great  woi'k  which  is  being  performed  by  sterling  teach- 
ers in  various  institutions  throughout  the  country.  In  fact,  we  should 
rejoice  to  feel  that  no  institution  professing  this  speciality  is  devoid 
of  merit.  Were  they  all  full  of  merit,  and  capable  of  fulfilling  all  their 
contracts  with  the  public,  it  would  be  to  us  a  matter  of  sincere  con- 
gratulation. 

We  do  not  intend,  however,  that  our  modesty  shall  stand  in  the 
way  of  a  clear  and  candid  announcement  of  certain  characteristics 
which,  whatever  their  merit,  we  claim  to  be  peculiar  to  the  mstitutions 
vinder  our  control ;  and  if  such  announcement,  and  the  investigation 
which  we  hope  it  may  engender,  should  result  in  a  verdcit  from  the 
public,  establishing  our  claims  to  "  distinguished  consideration,"  we 
shall  ever  feel  grateful  to  the  public,  and  prove  our  gratitude  by  re- 
newed exertions  to  deserve  renewed  acknowledgments.  , 

The  actual  deficiency  in  commercial  training,  as  evinced  in  the 
incompetency  of  graduates  hailing  from  institutions  not  unknown  to 
fame,  whenever  the  practical  test  has  been  applied,  has  suggested  the 


INTRODUCTORY.  18 

necessity  of  a  thorough  reform  in  the  me^Aoc?  of  instruction,  as  well  as 
the  extent  of  the  course  to  be  pursued ;  and  it  has  been  primarily  with 
a  view  to  meet  this  emergency  that  the  "  National  Chain  of  Mercan- 
tile Colleges"  has  been  inaugurated.  Heretofore,  the  exercises  in  the 
schools  have  been  the  result  of  closet  study  oi  teachers  ;  showing  how 
books  7nay  be  he])t^  and  exhibiting  ingenious  forms  and  models,  calcu- 
lated to  please  the  eye,  and  cover  the  deficiences  in  real  practical 
merit.  Of  this  character,  also,  are  nearly  or  quite  all  the  published 
text  books  on  this  science.  The  proprietors  of  the  Colleges  here 
represented,  have  not  been  satistied  with  this  advancement,  and  have 
felt  that  the  business  community  was  fully  justified  in  looking  with 
suspicion  upon  the  practical  qualifications  of  those  whose  chief  en- 
dorsement was  a  diploma  from  institutions  founded  upon  this  purely 
theoretical  basis.  They  have,  consequently,  inaugurated,  and  carried 
to  a  degree  of  perfection,  a  plan,  the  feasibility  of  which  must 
be  acknowledged  by  every  candid  business  man,  and  which  is  im- 
perfectly set  forth,  under  appropriate  heads,  in  the  body  of  this 
work. 

"Were  multiplied  arguments  necessary  to  jjjrove  the  wisdom  of  this 
course,  we  need  only  refer  to  the  hundreds  of  young  men  filling 
responsible  positions  in  the  larger  cities  and  villages  of  the  different 
States  of  the  Union,  whose  preparatory  training  has  been  had  solely 
in  these  institutions.  We  feel  safe  in  trusting  our  reputation  in  their 
hands. 

We  beg  leave  to  allude,  briefly,  to  some  of  the  points  of  interest 
which  we  claim  are  peculiar  to  our  Colleges: — 

I.— THE  SYSTEM  OF  INSTRUCTION. 

In  order  to  make  this  the  most  thorough  and  effectual,  we  have 
discarded  the  idea  of  printed  text  books,  adopting  the  more  prac- 
tical method  of  oral  instructions,  and  lectures,  with  black-board  eluci- 
dations. 

The  Business  Forms,  instead  of  showing  how  hooks  may  he  kept, 
are  taken  directly  from  Business  Houses,  and  written  up  exclusively 
for  our  use  by  practical  accountants,  each  department  of  trade  being 
amply  illustrated  in  the  largest  variety  of  transactions  knouni  to  the 
business,  and  the  idioms  of  each  clearly  defined  by  their  connection 
and  use.'  The  most  approved  forms  for  Accounts  Sales,  Accounts 
Current,  Balance  Sheets,  etc.,  accompany  each  Set,  and  may  be  relied 
upon  as  being  in  every  sense  practical,  and  such  as  are  in  daily  use. 


14  INTRODUCTORY. 

^  The  Wktting  Dbpaktmknt  is  a  vital  part  of  the  system,  it  being 
one  of  the  fundamental  principles  that  a  fair  style  of  business  writing 
is  essential  to  any  respectable  claims  as  an  accountant.*'  It  would  be 
equally  consistent  for  one  having  an  impediment  in  his  speech  to  claim 
the  qualifications  of  an  orator  as  for  an  indifferent  penman  to  aspire 
to  the  position  of  a  competent  book-keeper.  In  this  department  we 
have  employed  the  most  accomplished  professors,  and  the  best  system 
known  to  the  world.  The  hundreds  of  adepts  in  this  science  which 
have  emanated  form  our  Colleges  during  the  ])ast  six  years,  will  amply 
sustain  us  in  the  assertion  that  no  institutions  in  the  country  are  doing 
so  much  to  counteract  the  evils  consequent  upon  inelegant  and  unin- 
telligible chirography.  It  is,  perhaps,  sufficient  in  this  connection  to 
say  that  the  distinguished  author  of  the  "Spencerian  System"  of  Pen- 
manship, Mr.  P.  R,  Spencer,  as  also  some  of  the  very  best  artists  and 
teachers  of  this  system,  have  been  connected  with  these  Colleges  since 
their  commencement.  Specimens  from  these  institutions  also  have 
carried  away  the  first  premiums  at  the  State  Fairs  of  New  York, 
Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Michigan,  Illinois  and  Missouri,  and  wherever 
exhibited.  For  beauty,  rapidity,  and  perfect  adaptation  to  the 
various  uses  of  business,  this  system  of  writing  is  universally  ad- 
mired. 

In  connection  with  writing,  much  importance  is  attached  to  com- 
mercial correspondence — not,  as  is  the  practice  sometimes,  in  the  way 
of  copying  from  "  Ready  Letter  Writers,"  but  in  exacting  original 
documents  upon  given  topics,  with  criticisms,  suggestions,  etc.,  with 
a  view  to  elicit  and  direct  the  latent  talent  of  the  student  in  the  most 
practical  channels  of  thought. 

In  the  practice,  also,  of  requiring  original  documents  and  business 
entries,  it  is  designed  to  make  the  student  thoroughly  master  the 
principles  which  underlie  the  science ;  and  in  the  most  practical 
manner  to  fit  him  for  an  intelligent  discharge  of  his  duties  in  the 
counting  room. 

It  may  be  proper  in  this  connection  to  allude  briefly  to  one  feature 
which  will  be  more  definitely  explained  hereafter,  which  is  the  fitting 
up  of  our  rooms  in  true  counting-house  style,  giving  our  students  the 
benefit  of  practical  and  periodical  drills  in  the  routine  of  business,  and 
furnishing  at  hand  every  facility  afforded  in  the  various  business 
establishments,  including  banks,  railroad  offices,  manufactures,  com- 
mission and  forwarding  houses,  etc. 


INTRODUCTORY.  15 

II.— TIIE  CHAIN  OF  COLLEGES. 

We  think  after  the  result  of  our  labors,  as  sliown  in  the  present 
condition  of  tlie  seven  Colleges  composing  our  chain,  tliat  liltlc  doubt 
need  be  entertained  of  the  practicability  of  the  course  we  have 
adopted.  It  may  be,  and  doubtless  is,  owing,  in  a  great  measure, 
to  our  good  fortune  in  the  proper  selection  of  teachers  and  lecturers 
at  each  point,  and  not  a  little,  certainly,  to  the  thorough  course  of 
study  prescribed — which  is  uniform  at  all  the  Colleges — that  our 
efforts  have  been  so  eminently  successful ;  but  we  cannot  but  think 
that  in  the  very  flxct  of  a  continuous  cliain,  linking  the  two  great 
emporiums  of  the  East  and  West  with  the  intermediate  cominerci;il 
points,  lies  a  great  element  of  our  prosperity.  In  this  particular  it 
cannot  be  said  that  we  liave  any  competition  ;  and  here,  too,  Ave  claim, 
is  the  germ  of  future  achievenient  which  will  vindicate  the  propriety 
of  the  designation  we  have  chosen. 

Since  the  importance  of  this  cosmopolitan,  or,  as  we  have  termed 
it,  national  system  was  first  apparent,  we  have  spared  neither  labor 
nor  expense  to  perfect  it ;  and  it  is  with  no  small  degree  of  pride  that 
we  now  look  back  upon  the  obstacles  surmounted,  and  the  results  thus 
far  achieved.  The  cities  selected  by  us  are  each  the  centre  of  influ- 
ence and  interest,  not  only  to  their  immediate  surroundings,  but,  in  a 
measure,  to  the  whole  country ;.  and,  taken  together,  may  truly  be 
said  to  represent  the  entire  commercial  features  of  the  American  con- 
tinent. It  was  with  this  view,  mainly,  that  such  a  connection  seemed 
indispensable  to  a  truly  national  system.  Of  the  respective  claims  of 
each  point  it  is  certainly  not  necessary  to  speak  at  length.  When  the 
first  college  was  established  at  Cleveland,  in  1853,  the  commercial 
importance  of  that  locality  was  found  sufficient  to  yield  a  generous 
support.  The  opening  of  the  Buffalo  College  in  the  following  spring, 
although  discountenanced  by  many  respectable  citizens,  upon  the 
ground  that  it  could  not  be  sustained^  was  a  most  important  step ;  and 
the  patronage  thus  secured  from  every  part  of  the  Empire  State, 
noi-thern  Pennsylvania,  and  the  Canadas,  clearly  indicated  the  feasi- 
bility of  the  plan  of  extension,  which  has  subsequently  been  more  fully 
carried  into  effect. 

The  Chicago  College  was  opened  in  tlie  fall  of  185G,  and  its  history 
has  kept  pace  with  the  "  manifest  destiny"  of  the  great  metropolis  of 
the  West.  The  apartments  originally  selected  for  this  purpose,  though 
capable  of  accommodating  over  one  hundred  and  fifty  students  at  a 
time,  were  found  too  strait  for  the  purposes  of  the  institution,  and  a 


16  INTRODUCTORY. 

more  commodious,  accessible,  and  elegant  suite  of  rooms  has  been  ap- 
propriately fitted  up,  and  taken  possession  of. 

The  establishment  of  a  college  at  Albany  was,  to  say  the  least,  an 
experiment ;  although  the  result  has  jjrovcn  it  to  have  been  a  successful 
one.  The  West  is  conceded  to  be  the  most  congenial  clime  for  the  plant- 
ing of  new  enterprises ;  and  hitherto  this  department  of  instruction, 
in  its  broadest  sphere,  has  been  confined  to  the  \Yest.  The  remarka- 
ble success  of  the  Albany  College,  however,  has  clearly  demonstrated 
the  potency  of  that  "  conservative"  element  which  has,  for  so  long  a 
time,  been  acknowledged  as  the  peculiar  characteristic  of  the  capital 
of  New  York.  This  college  was  opened  on  the  first  of  January,  1857  ; 
and  it  is  not  claiming  too  much  to  class  it  with  the  permanent  and 
prominent  institutions  of  the  city  and  State. 

The  Detroit  College  was  opened  in  the  fall  of  1857,  and  has  enjoyed 
uninterrupted  prosperity.  It  is  now  the  only  institution  of  the  kind 
in  the  beautiful  "  City  of  the  Straits,"  and  has  a  strong  place  in  the 
affections  of  the  people. 

The  addition  of  Philadelphia  and  New  York  to  the  "  national 
chain"  was,  by  no  means,  the  most  unimportant  step  to  be  taken.  In 
fact,  the  omission  of  these  cities  in  any  scheme  claiming  to  be  "  na- 
tional," would  be  equal  in  inconsistency  to  the  "  play  of  Hamlet  with 
the  Prince  of  Denmark  left  out."  This  step,  in  fact,  has  been  con- 
templated from  the  first,  and  its  consummation  is  a  matter  of  sincere 
gratification  to  the  undersigned,  as  we  trust  it  may  be  of  some  con- 
sideration to  the  public.  The  Philadelphia  College  was  opened  in 
February  of  the  present  year,  and  the  New  York  on  the  first  of  Oc- 
tober. 

Without  disparagement  to  any  other  point,  we  can  not  but  feel  that 
the  opening  of  a  Commercial  College  in  the  commercial  metropolis  of 
the  country  will  prove  to  be  the  most  important  step  undertaken  in 
this  direction,  and  can  not  but  be  fraught  with  innumerable  advan- 
tages. The  location  of  the  New  Y^'ork  College  in  the  Cooper 
Institute,  Astor  Place,  occupying,  as  it  does,  the  finest  and  most 
commodious  apartments  for  that  purpose  in  the  building,  will  com- 
mend itself  to  all ;  and  when  it  is  understood  that,  no  matter  at  what 
point  the  student  may  enter,  he  has  an  equal  right  to  all  the  privileges 
of  any  of  the  other  points,  the  importance  of  these  additions,  and  the 
advantages  which  by  such  an  arrangement  we  are  prepared  to  afford 
over  any  institution  of  the  kind  in  the  coimtry,  can  be  seen  at  a 
glance. 

By  the  purchase  of  a  scholarship  in  any  of  our  colleges,  the  holder

becomes  equally  a  member  of  cither  or  all  the  others ;  lience  he  is 
enabled  to  commxjnce  his  course  at  one  point,  and  pursue  ami  com- 
plete it  at  another,  being  fully  entitled  to  all  the  peculiar  privileges 
and  advantages  of  seven  colleges  instead  of  one. 

Again,  by  this  intercommunication  between  the  different  branches, 
each  one  becomes  essentially  benefited,  as  it  is  well  understood  that 
the  business  customs  of  diHerent  localities  differ  in  many  respects, 
while  it  is  the  adoption  and  illustration  of  these  customs  which  com- 
prises one  of  the  strongest  features  of  our  enterprise.  Thus,  the  local 
peculiarilies,  which,  it  will  be  conceded,  are  more  strongly  developed 
in  the  great  commercial  centres,  become  interchangeably  engrafted 
into  the  system  of  instruction  at  each  point,  and  each  student  becomes, 
from  necessity,  a  cosmopolitan.  This  fact,  when  once  understood  and 
appreciated,  can  not  fail  to  attach  an  importance  to  credentials  from 
this  chain  of  colleges  which  can  not  be  equally  shared  by  those  institu- 
tions whose  labors  and  illustrations  are  confined  to  one  point. 

Again,  a  student  emanating  from  one  of  the  colleges  has  the  same 
claim  upon  the  sympathy  and  attention  of  the  officers  and  teachers  of 
either  of  the  others  as  those  actually  in  attendance,  and  may  thus  be 
said  to  have  formed  valuable  business  acquaintances  in  seven  of  the 
most  important  commercial  cities  of  the  Union. 

III.— "THE  AMERICAN  MERCHANT." 

In  the  development  of  our  plans  it  has  seemed  not  only  appropriate, 
but  necessary,  to  employ  some  suitable  exponent  of  the  higher  de- 
mands of  commercial  science;  and  we  have  accordingly,  during  the- 
past  year,  given  life  to  a  monthly  magazine  of  the  above  title,  the 
character  and  claims  of  which  are  now  pretty  well  known  to  the 
business  community ;  and  which,  we  are  willing  to  believe,  will  do  na 
discredit  to  the  cause  which  it  embraces,  or  to  the  community  which 
gives  it  support.  The  warm  reception  which  this  periodical  has  met 
in  every  part  of  the  country,  affords  a  gratifying  evidence  of  the 
demand  for  such  a  publication,  as  well  as  of  the  dignified  character  it 
has  sustained.  It  is  our  purpose  to  make  the  Merchant  an  intelli- 
gent and  faithful  auxiliary  in  the  purest  and  most  worthy  aims  of  the 
young  men  of  the  country,  avoiding  all  the  ephemeral  trash  with 
which  the  literary  (?)  periodicals  of  the  day  are  filled,  and  addressing 
itself  understandingly  to  the  higher  purposes  of  life.  Each  number 
contains  a  short  biographical  sketch,  with  steel  engraved  portrait,  of 
Borae  eminent  man  of  the  country,  either  living  or  dead,  who  has  ex- 


18  INTRODUCTORY. 

bibited  in  bis  life  tbose  sterling  qualities  of  head  and  heart  which 
entitle  every  man  to  respectful  consideration ;  together  with  a  large 
variety  of  original  contributions  from  the  first  writers  of  the  country, 
on  topics  of  general  interest,  embracing  commerce,  banking,  manu- 
factures, agriculture,  statistics,  commercial  law,  political  economy, 
science,  literature,  and  art.  The  Mekchant  has  now  reached  its 
ninth  number,  and  its  future  success  is  established. 

It  is  with  no  small  degree  of  satisfaction  that  we  are  enabled  to 
review  the  labors  of  the  past  six  years,  and  jiarticularly  the  history  of 
the  sixteen  months  just  past,  covering  a  space  ever  memorable  in  the 
annals  of  the  country,  and  fraught  with  the  most  remarkable  com- 
mercial phenomena  known  to  the  world.  We  feel  truly  grateful  that 
notwithstanding  the  revulsions  and  disasters  which  have  visited  every 
deiiartment  of  enterprise,  uprooting  the  solid  foundations  of  colossal 
fortunes,  and  spreading  ruin  and  desolation  broadcast,  that  our  humble 
■efforts  have  not  been  paralyzed,  and  that,  instead  of  being  obliged  to 
curtail  our  operations,  we  have  been  permitted  to  weather  the  storm 
without  "  splitting"  a  sail,  and  to  make  steadily  to  the  port  towards 
which  our  first  and  fondest  hopes  were  directed.  We  believe  the  public 
will  bear  us  out  in  the  opinion  that  the  promises  made  in  our  last  issue, 
notwithstanding  the  adverse  circumstances  which  have  surrounded  us, 
have  been  more  than  fulfilled,  and  for  all  this  success,  as  well  as  for 
all  we  hope  to  realize  in  the  future,  we  would  not,  for  a  moment, 
forget  that  we  are  indebted  to  the  generous  confidence  and  patronage 
of  those  who  were  willing  to  take  us  on  trust,  and  whose  names 
would  comprise  a  list  of  the  first  business  men  in  the  United  States 
and  Canada. 

It  is  to  such  that  we  desire  to  return  our  grateful  thanks,  trusting 
that  cur  labors  in  the  past  may  be  received  as  an  earnest  of  the  future; 
and  with  such  hope  we  desire  to  subscribe  ourselves  the  public's  most 
obliged  and  obedient  servants,  H.  B.  Bkyant, 

H.  D.  Steatton.

BY    ELIHU    BURRITT. 

There  is  no  figure  more  common  and  expressive  by  which  tho  experiences 
of  human  life  are  grouped  and  portrayed,  than  that  which  represents  it  as  a 
sea,  or  as  a  voyage  across  a  turbulent  ocean.  "\Yc  know  not  how  many  cen- 
turies old  this  simile  may  be,  or  with  what  generation  or  race  it  originated. 
Trite  as  it  may  sound  to  the  ear,  or  seem  to  the  eye  on  paper,  it  bids  fair  to  go 
down  to  the  last  year  of  time,  carrying  with  it,  unchanged,  every  feature  of 
its  original  significance.  As  the  sea,  to  the  last  pulsation  of  its  mighty  bosom, 
shall  be  subject  to  all  the  alternations  of  calm  and  tempest,  to  midnight  winds 
and  breezeless  noons,  so  human  life,  to  its  last  heart-beat  on  earth,  shall  en- 
counter the  old,  swift  vicissitudes,  that  have  swept  across  the  unchartered 
waters  of  man's  experience  from  the  beginning.  Unseen  dangers,  like  sunken 
rocks,  will  lie  in  his  course  to  the  last ;  quick  storms  will  arise  which  the 
barometer  of  his  best  wisdom  will  be  too  slow  to  indicate  ;  the  leeward  drift 
of  temptation  will  draw  him  toward  shipwreck  and  ruin ;  calms  anon  will  col- 
lapse his  sails  and  leave  him  motionless  on  a  still  flood  of  indolence.  These 
analogies  are  so  numerous,  and  so  fully  recognized  and  established  by  the  ob- 
servation and  testimony  of  a  hundred  generations,  that  they  may  sound  in  the 
ears  of  the  multitude  as  truisms,  too  hackneyed  by  use  to  please  a  refined  lite- 
rary taste,  or  to  comport  with  an  elegant  style  of  diction.  But  there  is  one  of 
these  analogies  which  should  be  pressed,  with  all  its  pointed  lessons  of  in- 
struction, upon  every  class  of  the  community,  especially  upon  that  great  and 
influential  section  of  it  which  stands  at  the  helm  of  the  mercantile  and  finan- 
cial interests  of  tho  country.  There  never  was  a  moment  in  the  history  of 
this  nation  when  these  lessons  were  more  needed  than  now,  or  when  so  many 
auxiliary  influences  were  ready  and  working,  to  give  them  invaluable  and 
permanent  efi'ect  upon  the  life  of  business  men.  Sudden  and  swift  as  the 
typhoon  or  tornado,  came  the  whirlwind  that  wrecked  and  scattered  the  eo>rthly 
fortunes  and  hopes  of  thousands,  at  their  full  spread  and  promise.  Like  as 
the  subtle  infusion  of  some  poisonous  element  diseases  the  air  of  certain  coun- 
tries, now  blackening  to  death  in  a  single  night  tho  greenest  vegetation,  now 
touching  the  roots  and  tendrils  of  human  life  to  the  same  fatal  issue,  so  the 
spinal  nerve  of  all  the  great  businesses  of  the  world  seemed  touched  and  par- 
alyzed as  by  electricity.  In  the  crash  and  shipwreck,  in  the  dense  gloom  and 
darkness  of  the  disaster,  the  hay,  wood,  and  stubble,  the  sandy  foundations, 
upon  which  thousands  had  built  their  fancy  fortunes,  were  revealed  among 
the  ruins.  To  return  to  the  figure,  the  surging  sea  was  covered  with  wooden 
anchors,  painted  to  resemble  iron  ;  with  mock  compasses,  whose  needles,  like 
the  hands  of  baby -watches,  pointed  to  no  pole;  with  charts  containing  no 
Bible  line  of  longitude  or  latitude,  nor  Christian  principle  or  point  of  depart-

ure.  Not  in  tho  memory  of  any  generation,  was  this  sifting  of  unreal  valua- 
tions more  ecvoro  and  complete.  Never  did  moral  or  mercantile  characters* 
built  upon  the  sand,  fall  in  more  startling  and  sightless  ruins. 

When  tho  wreck  of  all  things  thus  built  lay  strewed  over  tho  country,  from 
ocean  to  ocean,  and  over  lands  beyond  tho  ocean ;  when  thousands,  who 
thought  their  mountains  of  wealth  stood  strong,  saw  them  scattered  like  tho 
small  dust  of  the  balance ;  when  the  earthly  interests  and  inordinate  ambi- 
tions, the  lust  of  the  eye,  the  pride  of  life,  and  desire  of  riches,  which  had  put 
eternity  into  an  annular  eclipse,  began  to  thin  away  and  reveal  its  impending 
and  solemn  realities;  when  '"men  of  business"  began  to  feel  how  poor  and 
transient  are  all  the  "securities"  not  guaranteed  in  tho  Book  of  Life,  when 
those  realities  shall  burst  upon  the  human  soul ;  when,  in  a  word,  they  began 
to  open  their  eyes  to  the  magnitude  and  moment  of  those  interests  that,  lying 
beyond  '''change,"  pertain  to  the  changeless  destiny  of  the  immortal  spirit,  to 
be  determined  by  a  few  remaining  days  of  probation,  a  disposition  to  "learn 
righteousness"  became  perceptible.  A  meek  mind  for  i^enitence  and  prayer 
succeeded ;  prayer  at  noonday  at  the  very  centres  of  trade  and  commerce. 
Merchants,  bankers,  brokers,  and  men  of  every  department  of  business,  with 
all  the  clerks  they  could  spare  for  the  hour,  mingled  in  this  fellowship  of  con- 
trition and  supplication,  and  lifted  up  their  hearts  and  hands  together  for  that 
good  part  which  the  world  cannot  give  nor  take  away.  From  the  mercantile 
metropolis  of  the  nation,  from  city  to  city,  from  village  to  hamlet,  this  won- 
derful awakening  has  spread  over  the  land ;  everywhere  developing  its  dis- 
tinguishing characteristic  of  "Noonday  Prayer  Meetings  of  Business  Men.'' 
Old  gray-headed  merchants,  stalwart  draymen  and  porters,  kneeling  side  by 
side,  pour  forth  the  tearful  and  joyful  utterances  of  a  new  religious  life.  The 
predictions  of  the  holy  seers  of  old,  who,  even  with  divine  enlightenment  and 
inspiration,  but  faintly  saw  the  leading  lineaments  of  these  latter  days, 
seem  already  more  than  realized.  The  glowing  anticipation  of  a  New- York 
clergyman,  uttered  a  few  years  ago  in  that  city,  seemed  bold  and  almost  ex- 
travagant at  the  time,  but,  compared  with  the  facts  of  this  extraordinary  vis- 
itation, it  touches  upon  its  broad  fulfilment.  He  thus  expressed  his  views  of 
what  would  come  at  a  future  day,  which  he  little  thought  was  so  near  : — 

"  The  time  is  coming  when  Christ's  successes  shall  be  reported  with  the  ra- 
pidity of  Napoleon's  victories;  when  the  press  shall  teem  with  the  intelligence 
of  Chrisfs  movements  in  the  world  ;  when  tho  steamer  shall  furrow  tho  deep 
to  speed  the  tidings  of  his  power  ;  when  the  electric  Avires  shall  thrill  with 
heavenly  life  to  convey  from  city  to  city,  and  from  continent  to  continent,  the 
news  of  revivals  of  religion,  and  of  nations  born  in  a  day.  The  kingdom  of 
Christ  is  yet  to  be  the  one  thing  thought  of  in  the  world ;  and  in  every  market- 
place, at  every  exchange,  on  every  bulletin,  at  the  corners  of  the  streets,  men 
shall  speak  of  the  glory  of  his  kingdom,  and  talk  of  his  power,  one  to  an- 
other, making  known  his  mighty  acts,  and  the  glorious  majesty  of  hu 
kingdom." 

The  most  secular  papers  in  the  country  have  daily  borne  involuntary  testi- 
mony to  tho  beginning  of  this  end,  if  not  to  its  full  attainment,  in  their  reports 


MERCANTILE    PROBITY.  21 

of  the  Great  Awakening  of  1858.  First  and  foremost  to  be  affected  by  this 
unprecedented  work  of  Divine  Grace,  have  been  the  merchants  and  business 
men  of  the  country,  including  bankcrB.  brokers,  capitalists,  and  even  specula- 
tors. The  ploughshare  of  God's  judgments  upturn  to  fallow  ground  the 
foundations  of  the  mercantile  world.  Then  His  liand  scatters  broadcast  upon 
its  softened  ridges  the  seeds  of  righteousness  and  truth,  to  gcrminato  beneath 
the  dew  and  light  of  Ilis  mercy.  Never  did  a  revival  visit  this  country,  which 
constrained  so  many,  even  of  the  godless  world,  to  say — "This  is  the  Lord's 
doing,  and  it  is  marvelous  in  our  eyes."  Now,  then,  with  all  the  characteris- 
tics of  this  mighty  visitation  before  our  eyes  ;  with  such  a  work  shaking  the 
great  centres  of  American  trade,  transforming '"ohange"  corners,  market- 
places, and  printing-offices,  to  places  of  social  or  congregational  prayer  ;  when 
'•  Holiness  to  the  Lord  is  inscribed  on  the  bells  of  the  liorse.'*,'''  to  a  certain 
extent  of  fulfilment,  may  we  not  hope  to  fee  the  mercantile  life  of  the  nation 
renovated,  as  one  of  the  fruits  and  proofs  of  the  divine  power  and  vitality  of 
this  wide-spread  Awakening  ?  Is  it  too  much  to  expect  that  Commerce  itself 
shall  be  converted  ? — that  it  shall  henceforth  be  brought  under  the  sway,  and 
be  quickened  with  the  sensibilities  of  a  Christian  conscience  ?  That  transac- 
tions "on  'change"  at  their  farthest  aberration,  shall  not  get  quite  out  of  the 
range  and  reach  of  Christian  faith  and  obligation  ? 

Blessed  above  all  the  years  of  this  nation's  history,  shall  bo  this  last  of 
heavenly  discipline,  of  mingled  judgment  and  mercy,  if  this  great  renovation 
of  business  life  shall  be  realized.  It  is  the  great,  startling  want  of  the  age, 
and  in  no  country  move  than  in  this,  of  nervous,  almost  feverish  excitement. 
The  ledger  may  revolve  around  the  Bi])le.  as  the  earth  around  the  sun,  squar- 
ing its  interests  by  the  Golden  Rule,  without  involving  any  nearer  alliance 
between  God  and  Mannnon.  This  is  what  the  world  needs.  This  is  what 
ehall  not  only  save  this  nation  from  fearful  perils  and  punitions,  but  exalt  it  to 
be  the  first  to  come  under  the  full  sway  and  sceptre  of  that  kingdom,  for  whose 
speedy  advent  a  million  of  human  hearts  have  been  praying  morning,  noon 
and  night,  from  one  end  of  the  country  to  the  other.  Even  here,  in  the  large 
liberty  of  our  land,  we  cannot  have  impcrium  in  imperio,  or  two  separate 
kingdoms  within  a  kingdom.  In  that  for  whioh  thousands  of  American  mer- 
chants and  their  clerks  have  been  praying,  during  these  memorable  months, 
not  only  every  individual,  but  every  corporation,  community,  kingdom,  and 
nation,  must  bow  to  the  name,  to  the  sovereignty  of  Jesus.  .His  kingdom  can 
admit  no  imperium  in  imperio.  When,  in  answer  to  the  prayers  of  eighteen 
hundred  years,  it  shall  come  in  its  fullness.  He  must  reign.  King  of  nations 
as  now  King  of  saints.  No  close  borough,  no  corporation,  nor  joint-stock 
company,  nor  system  of  business  speculation,  nor  municipal  council,  nor  State 
or  National  Government  shall  be  permitted  to  divide  the  realm  with  Him.  or 
to  attenuate  the  allegiance  of  His  subjects  by  weakening  the  sense  of  their  in- 
dividuality and  obligations  as  Christians.  It  Avould  be  almost  like  a  nation 
born  in  a  dav,  even  if  the  mercantile  and  business  life  of  this  country  should 
bo  thus  regenoratod,  and  permeated  with  the  spirit  and  principles  of  Christian 
righteousness.     Both  the  judgments  and  mercy  of  God  have  made  a  wide  break 


22  MERCANTILE    PROBITY. 

in  the  reckless  aud  guilty  career  of  trade.  Those  who  guided  or  followed  the 
current  to  the  brink  of  the  disaster,  and  those  wlio  are  to  determine  its  course 
hereafter,  have  knelt  together  over  the  ruins  in  penitence  and  prayer.  In  a 
form  of  publicity  which  must  reach  the  remotest  community  of  the  civilized 
world,  they  have  taken  upon  their  souls  the  most  solemn  bonds  of  allegiance 
to  the  Author  and  Finisher  of  Christian  faith  and  life.  The  world  expects 
they  will  do  their  duty  in  the  new  era  of  trade  which  is  about  to  commence  ; 
that  they  will  make  it  new,  and  distinctive  from  all  preceding  cycles  of  com- 
merce, by  introducing  into  its  government  and  direction  the  guidance  of  un- 
swerving Christian  principle  and  probity.  Without  this  vital  element,  the 
business  world  must  drift  again  upon  the  leeshore  of  ruin:  without  this  at 
the  helm,  there  will  be  a  periodical  shipwreck  to  the  end  of  the  chapter. 
Who  can  even  glance  over  the  recent  revulsion  without  noticing  this  capital 
defect  all  through  Christendom — this  lack  of  Christian  probity  in  financial 
and  mercantile  transactions  ?  Extravagant  dealings  in  fancy  stocks,  in  fancy 
valuations  and  unrealities  of  the  widest  range,  have  been  adduced  as  among 
the  prime  causes  that  led  to  the  universal  break-down.  But  there  were  other 
speculations  which,  in  our  ajiprehension,  involved  greater  moral  obliquity,  and 
more  irrecoverable  baiikruptcy :  we  mean  speculations  in  fancy  reputations. 
The  pecuniary  value  of  a  good  character,  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic,  has 
'•  ruled'"'  high  on  'change,  even  to  a  fancy  estimation.  But,  saddest  of  all  these 
disastrous  defections,  the  best  character  in  mere  seeming  and  show,  has  not 
only  been  thus  prized,  but  priced,  and  sold  !  Merchants,  bankers,  brokers, 
men  intrusted  with  great  and  sacred  charges,  with  all  the  wealth  and  sub- 
stance of  widows  and  orphans,  have  indeed  regarded  godliness  as  great  gain, 
and,  with  not  one  emotion  of  its  vitality  in  their  souls,  have  sjaeculated  in  its 
counterfeit  for  years  undetected,  until  tempted  into  some  transaction  that 
swamped  them  in  inftimy,  and  revealed  the  principle  upon  which  they 
acted. 

How  multitudinous  are  the  cases,  in  which  men  in  various  positions  have 
labored  to  acquire  a  high  reputation  for  honor,  honesty,  and  general  morality, 
with  as  much  assiduity  and  vigilance  as  ever  an  humble  artisan  practiced  in 
accumulating  a  small  sura  in  the  savings-bank,  by  dropjjing  a  penny  a  day 
into  his  deposit  box!  And  when  that  reputation  has  reached  its  acme  in 
public  esteem,  how  frequently  has  it  had  its  price  !  The  Satan  of  temptation 
has  bid  for  it ;  anjl  its  owner  clutches  at  the  bauble  and  bubble  of  that  guilty 
fortune  he  is  to  realize  from  the  bargain.  Look  at  Sir  John  Paul,  Strahan, 
Robson,  Redpath,  Genet,  Schuyler,  Seymour,  and  hundreds  of  other  cases,  at 
home  and  abroad,  which  have  illustrated  this  immoral  and  demoralizing 
traffic  in  '•  high  reputations !''  Look  at  the  sinward  drift  of  mercantile  and 
financial  speculations,  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic,  for  the  last  few  years ;  at 
the  lack  of  truthfulness,  of  conscience,  and  sterling  honesty,  in  transactions  of 
men  who,  by  education,  wealth  and  influence,  claim  to  lead,  enlighten  and  re- 
fine the  public  mind  and  life  of  nations.  Think  of  merchants  aud  manufac- 
turers of  unimpeached  reputation,  drawing  alternately  upon  a  hundred  ficti- 
tious firms,  and  presenting  their  counterfeit  acceptances,  week  after  week,  and 


MERCANTILE    PROBITY.  23 

year  after  year,  at  the  counter  of  some  Lank  in  •whicli  they  were  perhaps 
directors  or  stockholders!  Glance  at  the  "developments"  in  the  direction  of 
the  Western  Bank  of  Scotland,  the  Royal  British  Bank  in  London,  and  of 
banks,  railway  boards,  stock-gamblings,  and  other  speculations  in  this  coun- 
try !  If  there  had  been  no  stern  and  sudden  In-oak  in  this  career;  if  this  in- 
sidious demoralization  had  been  permitted  to  work  on  uninterrupted  a  few 
years  longer,  until  it  had  reached  the  foundation  stratum  of  society,  and  per- 
meated the  great  industrial  and  agricultural  classes  with  its  leaven,  there 
would  have  come  a  moral  bankruptcy,  a  prostration  of  faith  in  man,  from 
which  the  mercantile  world  could  not  have  recovered  for  a  generation. 

We  trust,  that  however  slowly  and  feebly  the  business  of  the  new  cycle  may 
revive,  it  will  be  guided  by  new  principles  of  action.  We  arc  confident  that 
the  thousands  of  merchants,  bankers,  brokers  and  clerks  who  have  mingled 
their  utterances  of  contrition  and  supplication  at  the  Business  Men's  Prayer 
Meetings  in  our  cities,  have  made  honest  and  solemn  resolutions  to  lead  here- 
after a  new  life  of  faith  and  duty.  For  their  own  souls'  well  being,  for  the 
glory  of  God,  and  the  good  of  their  country,  may  they  sec  it  their  duty  to 
bring  this  new  religious  life  into  trade  ;  to  square  all  their  mercantile  trans- 
actions by  its  principles  and  dictates.  We  would  say  to  every  young  man 
fitting  himself  for  these  pursuits  and  avocations :  Beware  of  speculating  in 
reputations  ;  of  attaching  pecuniary  values  to  a  good  character  in  the  eyes  of 
men  ;  of  dwelling  too  long  and  frequently  upon  the  earthly  gains  of  godliness. 
Beware  of  this  tendency  of  your  mind,  for  it  seduces  into  the  path  of  temp- 
tation, sin  and  shame.  Reputation  is  the  tinkling  cymbal,  the  manward  seem- 
ing of  character.  It  may  be  the  simple  inflation  of  a  fiction  to  a  gaudy 
bubble;  the  outside  drapery  of  a  lie.  Do  not  put  out  to  the  sea  of  life  with 
this  wooden  anchor.  You  must  have  something  better,  stronger  and  more 
enduring  than  reputation,  to  hold  you  back  from  the  lee-shore  when  the  storm 
comes  on  in  its  fury.  You  must  have  something  "  entering  into  that  within  the 
vail,"  by  which  to  moor  every  transaction,  plan  and  purpose  of  trade ; — an 
unbending  principle  and  habit  of  Christian  Probity  in  all  your  dealings  on 
'change,  in  the  counting-room,  at  railway  board.=,  at  meetings  of  bank  direc- 
tors, and  in  all  those  relationships  that  are  so  calculated  to  merge  the  individ- 
ual in  the  corporation,  and  weaken  the  sense  of  his  personal  responsibility. 


COLLEGIATE    COURSE. 

Book-keeping. 

TuE  full  or  collcgiato  course  embraces  a  thorough  knowledge  of 
the  theory  and  practice  of  book-keeping  and  its  collateral  branches,  as 
hereinafter  specified.  The  method  of  conveying  instruction,  it  is 
thought,  is  the  most  severely  practical  that  could  be  adopted  ;  and  the 
actual  practice  in  the  various  departments  of  business  is  scarcely,  if  at 
all,  inferior  to  that  had  in  the  counting-room  ;  in  fact  it  is,  in  many 
respects,  greatly  superior,  being  adapted  to  meet  the  requirements  of 
a  more  extended  variety  of  transactions  than  ever  occur  in  any  one 
business  house. 

The  proprietors  claim  to  have  introduced  many  important  improve- 
ments, both  in  the  method  of  teaching  and  the  facilities  necessary  to 
make  it  practical.  Not  content  with  the  forms  of  the  principal  books 
used  in  the  various  departments  of  trade,  and  furnished  by  scientific 
accountants,  illustrating  faithfully  the  daily  routine  of  transactions  in 
banks,  railroad  offices,  commission  and  forwarding  houses,  manufac- 
tories, etc.,  they  have  had  beautifully  engraved,  for  their  special  use,  all 
the  convenient  auxiliary  blanks,  such  as  notes,  drafts,  bills  of  exchange, 
checks,  certificates  of  deposit,  certificates  of  stock,  etc.,  etc.,  which 
the  student  is  made  to  understand  fully,  as  also  the  laws  pertaining 
thereto.  The  exercises  in  these  various  departments  are  conducted 
precisely  the  same  as  in  business ;  the  duties  of  the  different  officers 
and  employees  clearly  stated  and  enforced,  and  the  principal  and  aux- 
iliary books  amply  defined  by  their  use.  To  make  this  proposition 
better  understood,  we  will  very  briefly  instance  the  method  of  impart- 
ing a  knowledge  of  the  routine  of  banking;  premising  that  a  similarly 
practical  method  is  adopted  in  the  other  departments.  A  "  banking 
class,"  consisting  of  some  ten  or  twelve  students  at  a  time,  or  as  many, 
perhaps,  as  may  be  qualified  by  previous  training  to  appreciate  quickly 
and  thoroughly,  is  organized.  The  stock  or  subscription  books  are 
opened,  the  stock  subscribed,  the  bank  organized,  officers  elected,  cer- 
tificates issued,  installments  paid  in,  and  the  business  of  the  bank  duly 
commenced.  Deposits  are  now  made  by  different  paities,  who  re- 
ceive a  pass-book  properly  written  up,  and  the  necessary  blank  checks 
for  doing  business  with  the  bank.  The  different  bank  charters  are  ex- 
plained, and  the  basis  of  issue  and  deposit  elucidated.     Bank  notes 


COLLEGIATE   COURSE.  25 

are  issued,  discounts  granted,  exchanges  effected,  and,  in  fact,  the 
whole  routine  of  a  banking  business  clearly  illustrated,  and  in  a  man- 
ner such  as  will  impress  it  indelibly  upon  the  mind.  It  has  been  our 
custom,  frequently,  to  introduce  book-keepers  and  other  officers  of 
banks,  for  the  purpose  of  receiving  suggestions  from  them,  and  by 
such  our  system  of  teaching  has  been  universally  commended.  Wo 
have  also,  more  recently,  in  order  to  remove  all  objections  to  the  lack 
o? ]oractical  training,  fitted  up  our  rooms  in  true  counting-house  style, 
with  appropriate  countei's,  desks,  drawers,  and  the  general  parapher- 
nalia of  business  ;  our  object  being  to  realize,  in  the  fullest  sense,  the 
just  demand  of  the  public  for  thorough  prepaiatory  instruction  in  all 
the  requirements  of  business,  and  to  remove  from  the  tyro  that  un- 
pleasant stiffness  which  too  frequently  stands  in  the  way  of  success. 

We  are  fully  aware  that  the  greatest  importance  is  not  to  be  at- 
tached to  extrinsic  forms,  and  that  it  would  be  possible  to  enforce 
the  principles  of  accounts  without  the  trappings  of  the  counting-room; 
but  experience  has  taught  us  that  the  more  attractions  we  can  throw 
around  the  study,  and  the  nearer  we  can  aj^proach  to  the  exact  stand- 
ard of  actual  business,  the  more  practical  our  teachings  become,  and 
the  greater  interest  we  secure  to  our  classes.  To  young  gentlemen, 
for  instance,  who  have  just  emerged  from  the  monotony  of  a  school- 
life,  and  have,  unfortunately,  perhaps,  imbibed  a  dislike  for  abstruse 
theories  with  the  usual  appliances  of  the  school- room,  any  approach  to 
the  realities  of  that  bustling  life  towards  which  they  have  so  long  and 
ardently  looked,  begets  a  pleasing  sensation,  and  invests  study  with  an 
interest  never  before  experienced  ;  imparting  a  self-complacency  and 
confidence  which  will  be  found  essential  as  a  prelude  to  the  uncom- 
promising duties  upon  which  they  expect  to  enter.  In  short,  our  ex- 
perience has  shown  us  that  the  more  fully  we  can  realize  the  ideal  of  a 
business  life  in  our  course,  the  more  eminent  is  our  success  in  qualifying 
our  students  for  that  life. 

The  book-keeping  department  is  under  the  skillful  and  able  man- 
agement of  gentlemen  standing  at  the  head  of  their  profession,  the 
most  of  whom  have  had  the  advantage  of  long  experience  both  in  bus- 
iness and  teaching. 

The  system  of  classifying  and  analyzing  accounts  adopted  in  this 
department  of  instruction  is  greatly  in  advance  of  any  of  the  old 
methods,  and  has  elicited  the  highest  encomiums  of  business  men. 

The  students  of  these  colleges  become  so  thoroughly  iiuloclrinated 
in  this  system  that,  on  presenting  them  with  the  footings  of  any  set 
of  ledger  accounts,  together  with  the  inventories,  they  will,  by  a  short 
analytical  process,  present  the  effects,  liabilities,  gains,  losses,  the  pres- 


26  COLLEGIATE   COURSE. 

ent  net  capital,  or  net  insolvency,  and  the  net  gain  or  loss,  in  a  few 
minutes,  Avhcn  it  might  require  as  many  hours,  or  even  days,  to  close 
and  transfer  the  accounts  in  the  ledger  and  show  the  same  result. 
This  principle  is  carried  out  in  the  solution  of  a  great  variety  of  prob- 
lems in  partnership  settlements. 

In  connection  with  this  thorough  analysis  of  the  science,  and  to 
follow  out  the  details  of  each  particular  branch  of  business,  an  ex- 
tensive collection  of  manusci-ipt  forms  are  used,  representing  every 
variety  of  business  books.  Each  student  that  comj^letes  the  course 
will  open,  conduct,  and  close  upwards  of  fifty  difterent  sets  of  books. 
He  will  be  furnished  with  memoranda  of  transactions,  from  which  he 
is  to  make  up  the  books,  precisely  as  he  would  make  them  uj)  from  the 
blotter,  or  day-book,  if  he  were  in  a  business  office. 

Among  the  sets  represented  are  the  following,  upon  most  of  which

accounts  current,  render  accounts  sales,  equate  time  for  payment  of

Penmanship. 

Indispensable  in  the  attainment  of  knowledge  suited  to  the  wants 
of  active  business,  is  a  good  hand-writing ;  for  it  is,  in  fact,  what  gives 
currency  and  real  value  to  every  other  acquisition  in  business  study. 
It  is  the  great  medium  through  which  thoughts  are  interchanged, 
through  which  commerce  speaks,  science  perpetuates  the  results  of  its 
researches,  and  the  record  of  a  world's  progress  Is  rendered  permanent. 
It  needs  no  encomiums — no  labored  efforts  in  proof  of  its  utility. 
Society  owes  its  present  condition  of  social  refinement  to  its  influence ; 
and  our  country  waits,  in  a  measure,  for  its  universal  diffusion,  to 
achieve  its  greatest  results  in  the  field  of  commercial  activity. 

It  was  the  intention,  from  the  first,  to  give  penmanship  a  promi- 
nent place  in  tlie  course  of  study  pursued  at  these  colleges,  and  to 
secure  a  system  best  adapted  to  the  purposes  of  business.  To  this 
end,  the  Spencerian,  or  semi-angular,  system  was  adopted,  without 
hesitation,as  the  best,  and,  in  fact,  the  only  one  worthy  of  consideration. 

This  system  is  taught  in  all  our  colleges  by  its  author,  and  those 
who  have  been  thoroughly  instructed  by  him  ;  and,  possessing,  as  it 
does,  all  the  excellencies  which  are  required  for  business  purposes, 
and  taught,  as  it  is,  by  the  ablest  teachers  of  the  system  in  the  country, 
it  becomes  one  of  the  most  attractive  features  of  the  course.  No  other 
system  extant  has  found  such  universal  favor  with  business  men,  and 


COLLEGIATE  COURSE.  31 

no  other  has  left  its  impress  on  so  many  minds,  or  made  so  many 
accomplished  writers. 

Of  the  thousands  who  are  using  it  in  business,  or  engaged  in  impart- 
ing instruction  in  it  to  others,  but  very  few  have  seen  fit  to  deny  its 
paternity,  thereby  denying  to  its  author,  who  has  spent  the  best  years 
of  a  long  life  in  perfecting  it,  his  just  meed  of  praise.  A  few,  however, 
from  a  feverish  anxiety  to  be  thought  original,  have  denied  their  mas- 
ter, and,  by  substituting  other  names  for  his  system,  changing  its  prin- 
ciples, and  mixing  with  it  unmeauing  vagaries,  have  acquired  a 
passing  notoriety ;  but,  happily,  the  system  retains  its  real  value  ; 
and,  if  they  have  succeeded  in  imparting  any  true  knowledge  of 
writing,  be  it  known,  that  it  results  from  the  excellencies  of  the  sys- 
tem itself,  and  not  to  any  mutations  to  which  they  have  subjected  it. 


Commercial  Law. 

This  department  will  consist  of  familiar  lectures  and  questionings,  by 
gentlemen  of  sound  legal  acquirements,  upon  those  divisions  of  the  law 
most  intimately  connected  with  the  business  man  engaged  in  commer- 
cial pursuits.  This  department  is  one  of  very  great  importance  to  the 
business  community,  and  one  that  is  not  yet  sufficiently  appreciated. 
Every  sane  person  must,  necessarily,  during  life,  enter  into  many  con- 
tracts, every  one  of  which  is  regulated  by  law.  The  business  of  a 
business  man  is  a  never-ceasing  succession  of  contracts  and  agencies ; 
and  yet  how  few,  comparatively,  of  our  best  business  men  understand, 
as  they  should,  their  obligations  to  others,  with  whom  they  enter  into 
conti'act,  and  others'  obligations  to  them.  There  are  many  points  of 
law,  of  vital  importance  to  every  person  engaged  in  business,  .that  can 
be  easily  impressed  upon  the  mind  of  the  student,  so  that  he  can  always 
apply  them  in  business  transactions ;  and,  yet,  many  persons  pass  a 
lifetime  in  the  arena  of  business,  and  still  do  not  understand  them. 

In  treating  upon  this  subject,  the  lecturers  will  introduce  many  cases 
in  point  that  have  occurred  in  their  practice,  to  familiarize  and  enforce 
the  particular  point  under  consideration. 

The  following  is  a  synopsis  of  the  course  of  lectures  in  this  depart- 
ment:

Ethics  defined. 

Ethics  as  distinguished  from  (civil)  law. 

Mercantile  law  and  mercantile  ethics  defined  and  distinguished; 
that  which  may  properly  be  declared  right  in  a  court  of  justice,  whose

might  appear  highly  criminal  when  judged  in  the  light  of  the  immu- 
table principles  of  mercantile  ethics.

Commerce  and  Commercial  Geography. 

This  is  a  new  feature  in  commercial  education,  and  first  introduced 
into  mercantile  colleges  by  the  principals  of  this  institution. 

There  is  perhaps  no  department  of  learning  in  which  young  men 
generally  are  so  deficient,  as  the  geography  of  our  own  and  foreign 
countries. 


COLLEQIATE  COURSE.  S» 

To  the  business  man,  as  well  as  him  who  expects  to  receive  ben- 
efit from  casual  reading,  but  few  subjects  are  of  more  importance 
than  a  definite  and  correct  knowledge  of  the  natural  and  artificial 
channels  of  commerce,  both  domestic  and  international. 

The  lecturers  in  this  department  will  endeavor  to  present  the  sub- 
ject in  such  a  manner  as  to  give  correct  ideas  of  the  commercial  fea- 
tures of  the  various  localities  most  intimately  connected  with  trade ; 
to  present  their  mutual  relations  and  mutual  importance  ;  to  discuss 
the  respective  merits  and  advantages  of  the  various  routes  and  means 
of  transportation  between  these  commercial  centers  ;  to  consider  the 
progress  and  advances  already  made  in  navigation,  and  the  various 
means  of  trade  ;  to  point  out  the  avenues  and  sources  through  which 
the  agricultural  and  manufactured  products  of  our  own  vast  and  fertile 
country  find  a  market  and  consumer ;  and  show  the  intimate  and 
fixed  relation  between  the  physical  features  and  commercial  impor- 
tance of  states  and  nations. 


Business  Correspondence. 

Whilst  we  are  but  too  well  aware  that  very  little  practical  aid 
in  business  correspondence  has  been  drawn  from  published  works  and 
forms  upon  this  subject,  we  are  fully  confident  that,  under  a  practical 
and  experienced  teacher,  very  great  improvements  can  be  achieved. 
Our  method  of  imparting  instruction  in  this  department  is  of  the  most 
practical  kind,  and  one  which  can  not  fail  of  a  good  result.  Students 
are  not  required  to  copy  letters,  but  to  indite  them  upon  a  variety  of 
topics,  all  intimately  connected  with  the  details  of  business.  Their 
letters  are  critically  examined  by  the  teacher,  their  inaccuracies  of 
form,  expression,  orthography,  and  style  pointed  out,  and  corrected, 
and  general  suggestions  and  examples  submitted,  with  a  view  to 
secure  to  the  student  a  terse,  forcible  and  unaffected  style  of  corres- 
pondence. The  ability  to  write  a  good  letter  —  to  know  just  what  to 
say,  and  how  to  say  it  —  is  an  accomplishment  second  to  none  which 
can  be  possessed  by  the  man  of  business ;  and,  as  no  person  can  be 
said  to  be  qualified  for  any  important  position  in  life  without  a  degree 
of  this  ability,  we  have  deemed  it  of  the  utmost  importance  that  those 
who  carry  with  them  our  indorsement  should  not  prove  themselves 
deficient  in  this  accomplishment.

Partnership  Settlements. 

The  great  variety  of  problems  involving  partnership  settlements, 
contentions,  and  misunderstandings,  that  are  required  to  be  solved 
before  completing  the  full  course,  gives  the  student  a  practical  knowl- 
edge of  the  methods  of  procedure  in  most  cases  where  it  requires  skill 
in  the  adjustment  of  complicated  accounts.  The  teachers  in  this 
department  have  prepared  and  preserved  a  great  variety  of  examples  ; 
many  of  them  are  in  the  precise  language  in  which  they  were  prepared 
by  the  parties  in  controversy,  making  them  as  actual  and  practical  as 
possible.  This  department  of  the  course  is  made  so  full,  and  the 
detail  carried  to  such  an  extent,  that  it  becomes  one  of  the  most  impor- 
tant features  of  the  course  of  instruction.  Any  young  gentleman  that 
can  acquit  himself  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  teachers  in  solving  these 
problems,  must  have  a  good  knowledge  of  the  science  of  accounts,  as 
distinct  from  a  mathematical  knowledge. 


Special  Lecturers. 

Hon  .  HORACE  MANN,  Hon.  GEO.  W.  CLINTON,  and  ELIHU 
BURRITT  have  consented  to  lecture  before  the  students,  patrons, 
and  friends  of  these  institutions.  The  world-renowned  reputation  of 
these  gentlemen  makes  a  simple  announcement  of  their  names  suffi- 
cient, without  any  encomiums  from  us. 


Banking,  Eailroading,  etc. 

Bank  book-keeping  has  been  brought  to  such  perfection  in  these 
colleges,  that  it  is  nearly  actual  practice.  After  going  through  with 
the  preliminaries  oi  starting  a  bank  —  such  as  drawing  up  the  articles 
of  association ;  explaining  the  object,  privileges,  and  restrictions  of 
the  charter;  opening  the  subscription  book  for  the  subscription  of 
stock;  making  the  necessary  arrangements  for  an  oflSce  ;  receiving 
the  first  installment  on  capital  stock ;  the  election  of  officers ; 
receiving  notes  of  circulation  from  the  board  of  control  —  in  fact, 
after  getting  every  thing  into  working  order,  the  bank  commences 
operating.  All  the  necessary  books  and  blank  forms  are  now  provi- 
ded. The  transactions  come  up,  and  are  disposed  of,  precisely  as  they 
would,  behind  the  counter  in  a  bank. 


COLLEGIATE   COURSE.  ,  g9 

Railroad  book-keeping  has,  also,  been  much  improved  upon,  in  the 
way  of  teaching  it  in  these  colleges.  Two  distinct  sets  of  books  and 
forms  have  been  prepared  at  a  large  pecuniary  outlay,  which  are 
designed  to  show  as  much  of  the  detail  of  the  business  as  possible. 
One  set  illustrates  the  business  at  the  head  office,  and  the  other,  the 
business  at  the  stations  and  sub-offices. 

Other  Departments  of  business  are  also  as  fully  illustrated, 
simplified,  and  enforced. 


Ope 


nino:  and  Closmo;  Books. 


Perhaps  there  is  nothing  connected  with  the  science  of  accounts 
that  gives  more  trouble  to,  or  that  is  more  dreaded  by,  a  practical 
book-keeper,  than  the  opening  and  closing  of  a  set  of  books.  There 
are  many  practical  accountants,  so  called,  who  have  never  either 
opened  or  closed  even  one  set  of  books.  They  can  conducts,  set  of  books 
year  after  year  without  any  difficulty;  they  are  rapid  and  correct  in  their 
work ;  but,  when  called  upon  to  open  or  close  books,  they  are  entirely 
befogged,  and  are  obliged  to  apply  to  others  for  assistance.  Such 
dases  are  not  at  all  uncommon,  and  they  show  the  necessity  of  being 
thoroughly  acquainted  with  every  department  of  an  accountant's  duties. 

It  is  the  design  of  the  instructors  in  this  department,  to  illustrate 
every  conceivable  variety  of  change  in  the  manner  of  opening  and 
closing  books. 


General   Lectures. 

For  the  benefit  of  the  public,  as  well  as  to  give  increased  facilities 
to  students  for  gaining  general  information,  the  principals  have  obtained 
a  corps  of  some  twenty  talented  gentlemen  in  each  of  the  cities  where 
these  colleges  are  located,  representing  nearly  all  the  professions  and 
chief  business  avocations,  to  lecture  from  time  to  time  upon  subjects 
of  general  interest.  These  lectures  have  been  unusually  well  attended 
during  the  past  season,  and  have  been  the  means  of  furnishing  a  lite- 
rary feast  to  a  large  class  of  citizens. 


To  Our  Graduates. 


If  there  is  one  thought  more  pleasant  than  another  in  connection 
with  our  enterprise,  it  is  the  consciousness  that  from  almost  every 
city,  village,  and  hamlet  within  the  boundaries  of  our  great  common- 
wealth, comes  up  from  the  hearts  of  those  who  once  had  their  regular 
places  at  our  desks  and  in  our  classes,  the  greeting  which  speaks  of  an 
interest  in  common  Avith  our  own,  a  mutual  desire  for  the  growth  and 
perfection  of  the  work  in  which  we  are  engaged. 

We  do  not  forget  that  the  memberships  in  our  colleges  are  per- 
petual, and  that,  notwithstanding  the  multitudes  of  names  herewith 
published,  very  many  are  at  the  present  associated  with  some  of  the 
first  business  firms  in  the  country,  while  others  are  filling  equally  re- 
sponsible posts  in  other  capacities,  having  the  chart  of  their  future  life- 
voyage  distinctly  traced  and  studied,  yet  we  are  possessed  of  nothing 
in  the  way  of  extended  facilities  to  which  all  are  not  equally  entitled. 
The  mere  form  of  receiving  from  us  a  Diploma  does  not  sever  your 
connection  with  us,  but  rather  more  closely  cements  it ;  and  it  is  not 
necessary  for  us  to  express  what  you  all  know,  that  our  classes  will 
never  be  too  full  to  admit  you,  or  our  time  too  precious  to  share  with 
you.  We  are  fully  aware  that  you  hold  in  your  keeping  the  elements 
of  our  success,  that  our  future  patrons  Avill  be  actuated  more  by  a 
knowledge  of  your  competency  than  by  any  special  pleading  of  our 
own.  We  have  ever  placed  the  greatest  stress  upon  the  thorough 
qualifications  of  those  who  bear  our  credentials,  and  the  fact  of  your 
possessing  them  is  as  great  an  evidence  as  we  can  give  of  our  full  con- 
fidence in  your  ability  and  integrity.  We  hope  to  ever  retain  the  re- 
spect and  good  will  which  you  have  manifested  toward  us,  and  to  pre- 
serve the  character  of  our  institutions,  that  you  may  never  desire  to 
conceal  the  fact  of  your  connection  with  us.

Ladies'  Department. 

The  change  which  has  taken  place  in  public  sentiment  during  the 
last  few  years,  as  to  the  propriety  of  females  being  educated  as  ac- 
countants, clerks,  etc.,  is  a  sufficient  guarantee  for  any  efforts  which 
may  be  made  to  meet  the  wants  and  demands  of  that  branch  of  soci- 
ety, who  deem  it  a  privilege,  as  well  as  a  right,  to  assume  equality  in 
some  of  the  lighter  and  less  hazardous  departments  of  trade. 

The  idea  of  practicability  is  the  ruling  one  among  our  American 
people  ;  and  the  great  question  to  be  solved  is,  whether  any  particular 
enterprise  or  plan  of  education  is  to  prove  of  public  utility. 

The  principal  aim  of  education  should  be,  to  qualify  men  and 
women  for  performing,  correctly  and  understandingly,  the  practical 
duties  of  life,  and  adding  an  influence  for  good  to  society.  It  is  gen- 
erally acknowledged,  that  the  women  of  our  country  have  too  little 
knowledge  of  business  affairs.  The  result  is,  that,  in  nine  cases  out  of 
ten,  on  the  death  of  the  husband,  the  settlement  of  the  estate  is 
thrown  into  the  hands  of  administrators  or  executors,  who  too  often 
prove  "interested  financiers,"  materially  affecting  the  future  comfort 
and  prosperity  of  the  "  widow  and  children,"  whom  it  is  their  duty  to 
protect. 

There  seems  to  be  no  good  reason  why  women,  natural  guardians 
as  they  are,  should  be  kept  in  ignorance  in  regard  to  both  theory  and 
practice  in  business  affairs.  Many  of  the  duties  devolving  upon  ladies 
require  a  correct  knowledge  of  accounts  and  business  routine  gener- 
ally. In  the  absence  of  such  knowledge,  she  is  often  placed  in  embar- 
rassing positions,  in  the  performance  of  even  common  business  trans- 
actions ;  while,  in  the  settlement  of  an  estate,  and  adjustment  of  the 
more  complicated  affairs,  she  is  found  totally  incompetent. 

Ladies  should  be  educated  with  a  view  to  usefulness  in  society,  as 
well  as  ornament. 

In  anticipation  of  the  wants  of  this  class  of  community,  the  prin- 
cipals have  fitted  up,  in  a  most  convenient  and  elegant  style,  a 
"  ladies'  department,"  in  which  will  be  taught  the  same  course  as 


42  MISCELLANEOUS   INTELLIGENCE. 

in  the  male  department.  The  very  large  number  of  highly  respect- 
able ladies  who  have  already  become  members  of  this  department  of 
the  college  is  sufficient  evidence  that  the  liberal  facilities  here  offered 
for  study,  and  provisions  made  for  the  comfort  and  convenience  of  its 
patrons  are  duly  appreciated. 

We  assure  the  public  that  nothing  will  be  left  undone  which  will 
promote  the  prosperity  of  this  department  of  the  institution,  and 
furnish  the  most  complete  and  thorough  course  of  study  ever  offered 
to  ladies  in  the  pursuit  of  commercial  education. 

Reading-Koom. 

A  LARGE  number  of  selected  newspapers  and  periodicals  are  kept  on 
file  for  the  use  of  students  during  their  leisure  moments.  This  proves 
to  be  a  very  valuable  acquisition  ;  as  those  who  have  been  accustomed 
to  much  reading,  and  have  acquired  a  habit  and  taste  for  it,  can  here 
satisfy  that  appetite  in  much  less  time  than  if  they  were  obliged  to 
procure  single  copies  of  papers  from  diflferent  places;  and  those  who 
have  not  been  in  the  habit  of  "  looking  over  the  papers"  will  soon  feel 
the  "force  of  custom,"  and  will  find  this  to  be  a  source  of  knowledge 
and  entertainment  from  which  may  be  derived  both  profit  and  pleasure. 

Each  college  is  furnished  with  a  well  selected  library,  embracing 
works  upon  commercial  law,  political  economy,  book-keeping, 
commerce,  commercial  geography,  ethics,  business,  etc. 


Preparatory  Education. 

A  KNOWLEDGE  of  the  Ordinary  English  branches  is  all  that  is 
necessary  preparatory  to  entering  upon  the  course  of  studies.  The 
initiatory  instruction  is  such  as  can  be  understood  and  applied  by 
those  who  are  entirely  ignorant  of  every  thing  pertaining  to  the 
science  of  accounts,  so  that  no  person  need  have  any  fears  of  being 
unable  to  master  the  course,  if  he  make  the  proper  exertion. 


Evening  Sessions. 


There  is  no  vacation  in  the  day  sessions  during  the  entire  year ; 
but  the  evening  sessions  close  during  the  summer  months.  The 
rooms  will  be  open,  evenings,  from  Oct.  ir)th  to  April  15th,  giving  all 
persons  who  can  not  attend  during  the  day  an  opportunity  of  passing  over 
the  entire  course,  without  detracting  at  all  from  their  daily  avocations.

Lyceum,  or  Debating  Society. 

The  students  and  graduates  of  this  institution  have  formed  an 
association  for  the  discussion  and  the  better  understanding  of  the 
intricate  points  that  may  arise  in  their  daily  business  transactions, 
also  taking  sides  on  questions  of  commercial  law,  political  economy, 
ethics,  commercial  calculations,  principles  of  penmanship,  new 
methods  and  classifications  in  book-keeping,  etc.  The  members  of 
this  association  meet  once  a  week,  and,  in  an  orderly  and  gentlemanly 
manner,  dispose  of  all  matters  under  consideration  to  the  satisfaction 
of  all  concerned. 

These  meetings  have  proved  to  be  very  beneficial  to  the  student, 
having  a  tendency  to  increase  his  self-confidence,  to  give  him  clearer 
ideas  upon  all  matters  discussed,  to  make  him  familiar  with  the 
manner  of  conducting  public  assemblies,  and  to  increase  his 
knowledge  generally,  by  inducing  habits  of  research  and  investigation. 


Employment. 

It  will  readily  be  perceived  that  our  facilities  for  obtaining 
situations  for  graduates  are  unequaled,  having  an  acquaintance  that 
extends  through  all  the  cities  between  New  York  and  St  Louis ;  still, 
we  do  not  hold  this  out  as  an  inducement  to  persons  to  become 
members  of  our  colleges.  We  consider  that  a  thorough  business 
education,  in  itself,  is  ample  compensation  for  the  money  and  time 
spent  in  obtaining  it.  It  is  for  our  interest  as  well  as  theirs,  to  secure 
situations  for  our  graduates,  when  they  wish  them. 


Public  Examinations. 

Mercantile  colleges,  unlike  others,  have  no  stated  period  tor  the 
commencing  and  closing  of  sessions.  They  are  designed  to  accom- 
modate all  persons,  at  all  times,  being  in  perpetual  session.  This  being 
the  case,  and  each  student  receiving  individual  instruction,  it  is 
seldom  that  more  than  two  or  three  students  graduate  at  the 
same  time. 

It  will  readily  be  perceived  that  this  arrangement  is  not  favorable 
for  public  examinations ;  but  such  examinations  will  take  place 
occasionally  during  the  year,  when  enough  students  are  graduating, 
about  the  same  time,  to  make  it  an  object. 


44  MISCELLANEOUS   INTELLIGENCE. 


Diplomas. 

Diplomas  will  be  given  to  those  only  who  complete  the  course, 
and  pass  the  necessary  examination.  Business  men  are  beginning  to 
understand  that  all  diplomas  are  not  alike  in  the  influence  they  exert, 
and  in  the  truthfulness  of  the  language  expressed  upon  the  face  of 
them.  One  of  the  greatest  impediments  to  the  success  of  a  really 
laeritorious  institution  of  this  kind,  at  the  present  day,  is  the  fact  that 
they  have  to  contend  with  so  many  shallow  impostors,  who  do  nothing 
but  copy  the  forms  of  others,  and  announce  that  they  will  award 
them  at  "  half-price."  They  make  no  improvements  themselves  ;  and. 
Instead  of  announcing  simple  facts,  and  striving  to  elevate  this 
department  of  education,  they  are  rather  lowering  the  standard,  and 
doing  all  they  can  to  make  it  subserve  their  own  pecuniary  interests, 
irrespective  of  their  duty  aud  obligation  to  their  patrons,  and  to  the 
direct  injury  of  themselves  and  the  public. 


Counterfeit  Money,  Engraving,  etc. 

For  the  benefit  of  those  persons  who  wish  to  become  expert  in 
handling  money,  and  detecting  counterfeits,  classes  will  occasionally 
be  formed,  in  which  the  different  processes  of  engraving  will  be  illus- 
trated and  explained ;  a  great  variety  of  samples  of  both  genuine  and 
counterfeit  work  will  be  furnished,  showing  the  diflference  between 
them  by  contrast.  By  this  means,  a  person  can  get  a  good  theoretical 
knowledge  of  the  principles  that  govern  in  detecting  bank  notes, 
which,  with  the  necessary  actual  practice,  will  make  him  both  rapid 
and  sure. 


Boarding. 

There  is  no  boarding-house  connected  with  the  college  ;  but  we 
always  have  a  sufficient  number  of  selected  private  boarding  houses, 
and  private  families  that  take  no  other  boarders  than  two  or  three 
students  each,  where  young  men  can  be  sent  immediately  on  applica- 
tion at  the  college  rooms.

Scholarships. 

Scholarships  are  issued  for  the  "  full  course,"  which  entitle  the 
holder  to  instruction  in  either  college  until  thoroughly  qualified  in  all 
the  branches  of  the  course,  without  regard  to  time,  also  giving  them 
the  privilege  of  review,  at  any  future  time,  free  of  charge.  A  person 
holding  a  scholarship  can  attend  either  the  Albany,  Buffalo, 
Cleveland,  or  Chicago  colleges,  as  may  best  suit  his  convenience ;  or 
a  part  of  the  course  can  be  taken  at  one,  and  completed  at  either  of 
the  others;  in  short,  tuition  being  once  paid  entitles  the  pupil  to  the 
privileges  of  all  the  colleges.  His  time  will  be  entirely  at  his. disposal, 
he  can  complete  the  course  as  rapidly  as  he  chooses,  or  can  come  and 
go  as  often  as  circumstances  may  require,  and  complete  the  coarse  at 
his  option.  Parents  residing  in  these  cities  can  secure  a  scholarship 
for  a  son  or  daughter  when  quite  young,  and  let  them  attend,  at 
intervals,  until  a  beautiful  hand-writing  is  secured,  and  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  science  of  accounts  and  its  collateral  branches. 


Time  of  Commencing. 

Students  can  enter  at  any  time  during  the  year,  as  there  are  no 
vacations.  There  are  some  commencing,  and  others  leaving,  almost 
every  day.  Our  arrangements  are  designed  to  accommodate  every 
person  in  want  of  a  business  education.  Each  pupil  receives  individ- 
ual instruction,  with  the  exception  of  blackboard  illustrations  and 
lectures,  which  are  listened  to  by  all  the  students  as  a  class. 


Terms. 

Scholarship  for  full  course,  including  all  departments  of 
book-keeping,  lectures,  commercial  calculations,  and  prac- 
tical penmanship,  giving  the  holder  all  the  privileges  of  the 
institution  until  he  has  mastered  all  the  branches,  without 

regard  to  the  length  of  time  consumed $40  00 

For  same  course  in  ladies'  department, 25  00 

Persons  taking  penmanship  alone  receive  twenty  lessons  for     5  00 

Writing  scholarship,  good  for  one  year, 10  00 

For  ornamental  penmanship,  including  off-hand  flourishing,  lettering, 
pen  drawing,  and  fine  shading,  as  may  be  agreed  upon.

in  the  business  for  which  they  entered. 

3.  Students  are  not  permitted  to  carry  out  of  the  rooms  any 
article  belonging  to  the  college. 

4.  No  talking,  laughing,  or  improper  noise,  lounging,  or  collecting

8.  The  rooms  must  be  quiet  and  orderly  at  all  times,  so  that 
ladies  or  gentlemen  can  enter  them  at  any  hour  for  study,  (whether 
the  teachers  are  present  or  not,)  and  feel  assured  that  they  will  not  be 
disturbed  or  annoyed.  Every  male  member,  on  entering  the  college,  is 
admitted  as  a  gentleman,  and  is  expected  to  preserve  his  dignity  as 
such,  during  his  connection  with  the  institution. 


Manuscript   Library. 


Our  collection  of  manuscript  books  and  forms  is  now  very  extens- 
ive, an.d  additions  are  being  made  continually.  Young  men  who  have 
the  time  at  their  command  can  spend  one  year  or  more  with  us,  and 
find  ample  material  to  cull  from,  and  labor  faithfully  during  the  whole 
time. 


To  Business  Men. 

Advice  and  assistance  will  be  rendered  (confidentially  or  otherwise,) 
in  adjusting  partnership  settlements ;  in  opening  or  closing;  books;  in 
changing  books  from  single  to  double  entry ;  in  improving  the  form  or 
ruling  of  books ;  in  writing  up  books  that  are  behind ;  in  detecting  and 
correcting  errors,  etc.  etc.

Problems. 

The  following  are  a  few  of  the  many  problems  required  to  be  ana- 
lyzed by  the  student : 

1.  A,  B,  and  0  are  partners  ;  they  invest  in  equal  amounts  at  com- 
mencing business ;  A  shares  six-fifteenths,  B  five-fifteenths,  C  four- 
fifteenths  of  the  gain  or  loss.  At  closing  business,  the  excess  of  effects 
over  liabilities  is  $17,432.  A  has  withdrawn,  during  business, 
$1,681.25,  and  B  $634.30.  The  excess  of  gains  over  losses  is 
$2,675.42.  What  was  each  partner  worth  at  commencing  business? 
What  has  each  made  ?     What  is  the  present  worth  of  each  ? 

2,  A  and  B  are  partners  ;  the  former  invests  three-fifths,  and  the 
latter  two-fifths,  of  the  capital  at  commencing.  They  share  the  gain 
or  loss  equally.  At  closing,  the  resources  are,  cash  on  hand  $8,432.18; 
merchandise,  $12,326 ;  bills  receivable,  $678 ;  real  estate,  $4,250  ; 
personal  accounts  due  them,  $3,423.12.  They  owe,  on  bills  payable, 
$3,218.93;  on  personal  accounts,  $943.72.  A  has  drawn  out,  during 
th-e  year,  $160 ;  B  has  drawn  out  $275 ;  the  profits  amount  to 
$3,128.43,  and  the  losses  $827.12.  What  was  the  firm  worth  at  com- 
mencing ?  What  was  each  partner  worth  at  commencing  ?  AVhat  is 
each  worth  at  closing  ? 

3,  A,  B,  and  C  are  partners;  they  invest  equally  at  commencing; 
to  share  the  gains  or  losses  as  follows  :  A,  six-fifteenths ;  B,  five- 
fifteenths;  C,  four-fifteenths.  At  closing,  the  resources  exceed  the  lia- 
bilities by  $17,432.  A  has  drawn  out,  during  business,  $1,681.25 ;  B  has 
added  to  his  capital  $624.35.  The  profits  exceed  the  losses  by 
$2,674.42.  What  was  each  partner's  capital  at  commencing?  What 
at  closing  ? 

4.  A,  B,  and  C  are  partners ;  to  share  the  gain  or  loss  in  proportion 
to  their  investments.  A  invested  $6,784;  B  invested  $7,428;  C 
invested  $5,672.  During  business,  A  has  drawn  out  $1,520.  B  has 
added  to  his  capital  $984.  C  has  drawn  out  $620.  At  closing,  the 
resources  amount  to  $29,374,  and  the  liabilities  to  $4,160.  What  has 
been  the  gain  or  loss?  What  is  each  partner's  share?  What  is  each 
partner's  present  worth  ? 

6.  A  &  B  are  partners.  They  make  no  investment  at  com- 
mencing business.    No  regular  books  are  kept ;  but  each  partner  keeps

a  memorandum  of  his  receipts  and  expenditures.  A  is  to  pay  one-half 
of  the  necessary  expenses  for  conducting  the  business,  and  receive 
three-fourths  of  the  profits.  B  is  to  pay  one-half  of  the  expenses,  and 
receive  one-fourth  of  the  profits.  During  business,  A  has  received 
62,342.41,  and  paid  out,  for  expenses  of  the  firm,  SG23.60.  B  has 
received,  as  shown  by  his  memoranda,  $3,736.18,  and  paid  out,  on 
expenses,  $56.23.  Having  settled  with  all  other  persons,  how  will  the 
partners  adjust  their  own  accounts,  if  a  dissolution  now  takes  place  ? 

6.  A,  B,  and  C  are  partners.  A  invests  $7,420,  B  $6,812,  C 
$4,635 ;  to  share  the  gains  or  losses  equally.  During  business,  A 
has  drawn  out  $672.43,  B  has  drawn  out  $2,471.04,  C  has  drawn  out 
$1,896.06.  The  excess  of  effects  over  liabilities,  at  closing  business, 
is  $15,813.05.  What  has  been  the  gain  or  loss?  What  is  each 
partner's  present  net  capital  1 

7.  A,  B,  C,  and  D  are  partners.  A  and  B  furnish  the  capital ;  C  and 
D  to  bear  the  expenses  of  conducting  the  business,  each  one-half. 
They  share  the  gains  or  losses  as  follows,  viz  :  A,  seven-twentieths ; 
B,  six-twentieths ;  C,  four-twentieths ;  D,  three-twentieths.  A  advanced, 
at  commencing,  $18,423  ;  B  advanced  $13,142.  The  profit  and  loss 
accounts  have  an  excess  of  credits  of  $6,823.80.  The  expense  account 
has  an  excess  of  debits  of  $2,412.08.  A  has  drawn  out,  during  business, 
$426.  C  has  drawn  out  $2,342.13.  What  is  the  net  capital  of  the 
firm  at  closing  ?  What  is  each  partner's  interest  in  the  concern  ? 
How  will  a  final  settlement  be  effected  with  the  partners  ? 

8.  Two  mechanics,  A  and  B,  commence  business  as  partners,  with 
equal  facilities  in  their  profession,  and  upon  the  condition  that  each 
shall  pay  one-half  of  the  necessary  expense  of  conducting  the  business, 
and  share  equally  in  the  gain  or  loss.  At  the  end  of  one  year.,  they 
wish  to  balance  their  books,  and  close  business,  with  a  proper  adjust- 
ment of  their  accounts,  according  to  the  above  conditions.  The 
product  of  A's  labor  amounted  to  $1,200.  A  has  received,  in  cash, 
$976.63 ;  his  total  expenses  were  $902.48,  of  which  he  paid  $439.50. 
The  product  Of  B's  labor  amounted  to  $1,008.64.  B  has  received,  in 
cash,  $685.94;  his  total  expenses  amount  to  $90.70,  of  which  he  has 
paid  $68.17.  If  B  retires,  and  A  remains,  and  closes  up  the  business, 
what  amount  will  be  due  to  or  from  B  on  leaving  1  If  A  retires,  and  B

3,  1857,  drawing  7  per  cent,  simple  interest,  maturing  three  years  after 
date.  I  projiose  to  purchase  it,  if  by  so  doing  I  can  realize  15  percent, 
on  my  investment.     How  much  can  I  pay  for  it  on  August  1,  1858? 

12.  Three  mechanics  are  partners.  They  agree  that  each  shall  be 
charged  $2.25  per  day  for  all  working  days  that  he  is  absent  from  the 
business.  At  the  close  of  the  year,  it  is  found  that  A  has  lost  44  days ;; 
B,  28  days  ;  C,  12  days.  How  will  a  journal  entry  be  made  to  adjust 
the  matter  between  them  ? 

13.  A,  B,  and  C,  enter  into  copartnership,  each  investing  $5,000.. 
A  is  worth  to  the  business  $1,500  a  year  ;  B,  $1,200  ;  C,  $1,000.  At 
the  end  of  two  months,  B  draws  out  $500,  and  A  adds  to  his  capital 
$1,000.  At  the  end  of  five  months,  C  withdraws  $300.  They  close  up 
their  business  at  the  end  of  the  year,  and  find  that  a  net  profit  has  been 
realized  of  $3,500.  What  proportion  of  this  gain  belongs  to  each  })art- 
ner,  if  money  is  worth  7  per  cent,  per  annum  ? 

14.  A,  B,  and  C,  are  partners,  each  investing  $5,000,  and  each  being 
of  equal  value  to  the  business.  They  draw  from  and  add  to  the  cap- 
ital as  in  the  above  example  ;  and,  at  the  end  of  the  year  they  ascertain 
their  gain  to  be,  as  in  the  former  case,  $3,500.  How  Avill  the  gain  be 
equitably  divided  ?  And  should  the  value  of  money,  as  in  the  former 
case,  have  any  effect  on  the  adjustment  of  gains  ? 


50  MISCELLANEOUS   INTELLIGENCE. 

15.  A,  B,  and  C  are  partners.  They  invest  in  equal  amounts,  and 
share  gains  and  losses  equally.  During  business,  B  has  withdrawn 
from  his  capital  $750;  C  has  added  to  his  capital  $1,124.  At  closing, 
the  effects  amount  to  $18,432,  and  the  liabilities  to  $2,118.28.  The 
total  losses  amount  to  $731.04,  the  tot#l  gains  $3,110.11.  What  is 
each  partner's  share  of  gain  or  loss  ?  What  was  each  worth  at 
commencing?     What  at  closing? 

16.  A,  B,  C,  D,  and  E  enter  into  co-partnership  upon  the  follow- 
ing conditions,  viz :  A  and  B  to  furnish  the  necessary  capital  for  conduct- 
ing the  business,  on  which  each  is  to  be  allowed  10  per  cent,  interest ; 
A  and  B's  services  not  to  be  required  in  the  business ;  C  to  give  his 
whole  attention  to  the  management  of  the  establishment,  and  receive 
a  salary  of  $1,000,  as  a  partial  offset  to  his  superior  skill  and 
-experience  ;  D  and  E,  young  men  without  capital  or  experience,  are 
,to  give  their  whole  time  to  the  business,  under  the  direction  of  C. 
After  fulfilling  the  above  conditions,  the  partners  are  to  share  equally 
;in  gains  or  losses. 

A  and  B  advance  $10,000  each,  at  commencing  business,  Jan.  1st, 
!1856.  The  books  are  kept  by  single  entry.  At  the  close  of  the  year, 
the  following  is  an  exhibit  of  the  state  of  affairs  :  A  has  drawn  out, 
.during  the  year,  as  follows,  viz:  April  5th,  $200;  July  22nd,  $700; 
•Oct.  8th,  $600.  B  has  drawn  out,  March  24th,  $150;  Aug.  15th, 
$320;  Dec.  13th,  $180.  0  has  drawn  out,  May  23d,  $430;  Sep.  2nd, 
$275;  Nov.  25th,  $470.  D  has  drawn  out,  June  4th,  $300.  E  has 
drawn  out.  May  11th,  $600;  Sept.  8th,  $150. 

On  the  last  day  of  December,  1856,  an  inventory  is  taken,  and 
the  following  statement  laid  before  the  partners: 

Cash  on  hand, $8,000  00 

Bills  receivable,  on  hand, 3,000  00 

Real  estate,  valued  at 20,000  00 

Bills  payable,  unredeemed, 8,500  00 

Balance  due  from  firm  on  personal  accounts 6,000  00 

Suppose  a  dissolution  takes  place  at  this  date,  how  will  a  final 
adjustment  be  made  with  the  partners? 

AVhat  is  each  partner's  interest  in  the  concern  at  the  close  of 
the  year  ? 


INAUGURAL   EXERCISES. 

OPENING     OF    TUE     NEW     R00M3     OF     THE     MERCANTILE     COLLEGE     AT 
CHICAGO. MK.    ARNOLD'S     ADDRESS. 


The  exercises  connected  with  the  opening  of  the  new  rooms  in 
"  Larnion's  Block,"  Chicago,  which  occurred  on  the  4th  of  May,  1858, 
Avere  of  the  most  interesting  nature,  comprising  an  era  in  the  history 
of  mercantile  science.  Not  only  was  the  highest  official  endorsement 
afforded,  in  the  person  of  the  INIayor  of  the  city,  who  presided  on  the 
occasion,  but  the  first  talent  in  the  various  professions  was  brought 
into  requisition,  and  did  honor  to  the  effort  made  to  elevate  the  stand- 
ard of  a  business  education. 

The  entire  building  was  brilliantly  illuminated,  and  the  large  lecture 
room  filled  to  overflowing  with  ladies  and  gentlemen. 

As  before  stated,  Mayor  Haines  presided,  and  Hon.  Isaac  Arnold,  a 
prominent  member  of  the  bar,  and  an  effective  public  speaker,  deliv- 
ered the  inaugural  address,  which  we  publish  in  this  connection. 

At  the  close  of  the  address,  John  C.  Dore,  Esq.,  introduced  the 
resolutions  which  follow  ;  after  which  the  meeting  was  addressed 
by  Thomas  Richmond,  Esq, ;  Messrs.  Wm.  H.  Wells,  Superintendent 
of  Public  Instruction ;  J.  C.  Dore,  ex  Superintendent ;  Bross,  of  the 
Press  ;  Shehan,  of  the  Times  ;  J.  B.  Morwin,  Esq.,  and  others.  Mr. 
Richmond  is  one  of  the  earliest  settlers  of  Chicago,  and  in  his  remarks 
stated  that  forty-three  years  ago  he  navigated  the  lakes,  before  a 
steamboat,  a  harbor,  a  canal,  a  light-house,  a  railroad,  or  a  telegraph 
was  known  in  the  country.  Mr.  Wells  spoke  of  the  general  interests 
of  education,  and  of  tho.t  particular  department  to  be  furthered  by 
the  institution  now  inaugurated.  His  remarks  were  exceedingly  happy 
and  pointed.  The  other  gentlemen,  each  in  his  peculiar  vein,  added 
to  the  intellectual  enjoyment  of  the  occasion. 

The  public  enthusiasm  manifested  upon  this  occasion  affords  addi- 
tional evidence  of  the  fact  elsewhere  assumed,  that  these  institutions 


52  INAUGURAL     EXERCISES. 

for  business  are  gradually  making  for  themselves  a  home  in  the  affec- 
tions of  tlie  people  ;  and  that  the  best  wishes  of  our  most  prominent 
citizens  attend  the  development  of  this  plan  of  education.  It  would, 
indeed,  liave  been  a  difficult  matter,  ten  years  ago,  to  elicit  the  heart- 
felt resi)onses  that  were  drawn  forth  upon  this  occasion,  or  to  commit 
that  class  of  citizens  to  the  sentiments  embodied  in  these  resolutions. 
But  the  institutions  have  made  their  mark  in  the  business  world  ;  and 
their  fruits  are  such  as  every  noble-minded  man  is  happy  to  commend. 


KESOLUnONS. 

Whereas,  the  commercial  interests  of  our  country  form  the  basis  of 
our  national  intercourse,  and  constitute  a  prominent  element  of  our 
prosperity,  being  interwoven  and  indissolubly  connected  with  the  well- 
being  of  all ;  therefore, 

Jiesolved,  That  a  specific  department  of  education  is  demanded  to 
fit  young  men  for  an  intelligent  and  honorable  discharge  of  the  respon- 
sible duties  of  business  life. 

Jiesolved,  That  the  facilities  afforded  by  this  chain  of  National  Col- 
leges are  worthy  of  special  consideration  ;  and  that  the  plan  by  which 
a  scholarship  issued  from  any  one  point  entitles  the  holder  to  a  life 
membership  throughout  the  chain,  is  a  peculiar  feature  of  great  util- 
ity, and  receives  our  most  hearty  approval. 

Jiesolved,  That  inasmuch  as  all  classes  have  more  or  less  to  do  with 
business  affairs,  we  commend  that  branch  of  education  which  is  thor- 
oughly obtained  only  at  the  Commercial  Colleges  to  the  attention  of 
all,  as  meeting  a  want  experienced  not  alone  by  the  practical  account- 
ant and  merchant,  but  by  the  professional  man,  the  mechanic,  and  the 
farmer. 

Jiesolved,  That  the  qualifications  evinced  by  the  graduates  of  these 
Colleges,  for  the  details  as  well  as  the  intricacies  of  business  life,  estab- 
lish beyond  a  question  the  great  value  and  thoroughness  of  the  instruc- 
tion given. 

Jiesolved,  That  while  we  most  emphatically  endorse  this  chain  of 
National  Colleges,  so  far  as  perfected,  we  bespeak  for  Messrs.  Bryant 
&  Stratton  that  encouragement  and  cooperation  which  will  enable 
them  to  extend  their  Colleges  to  all  the  cities  of  America. 


EDUCATION    OF    TITE    HrERCTTAWr.  63 


BY    HON.    ISAAC    N.    ARNOLD. 

Human  energy,  which  in  some  R)rm  of  activity  gives  color  to  the  times,  and 
stamps  its  own  peculiar  phase  on  each  page  of  human  history,  is  now  devel- 
oping itself  in  commerce. 

It  is  not  unusual  to  hear  the  period  in  which  we  live,  reproached  as  being 
absorbed  in  material  interests.  Burke  mournfully  exclaimed,  "The  age  of 
chivalry  is  gone  !  "  Yet  if  we  compare  that  fomed  period,  with  its  glitter  of 
arms  and  grace  of  manners,  with  the  more  homely,  but  far  more  comfortable 
and  virtuous  present,  if  we  observe  the  degradation  of  the  masses,  the  slavery, 
the  brutality,  and  supeistition,  Avhich  then  prevailed,  and  if  we  also  observe 
how  much  of  life  and  treasure  was  wasted  in  causeless  wars,  in  the  quarrels 
of  kings,  in  religious  persecutions  and  crusades,  I  think  the  student  of  history 
will  rather  find  cause  of  congratulation,  that  the  will  and  powers  of  man  are 
now  engaged  in  the  pursuits  of  industry,  of  trade  and  commerce  :  that  in  this 
age  the  human  intellect  seems  principally  occupied  in  developing  the  material 
interests  of  the  world;  in  educating  the  people,  in  inventing  labor-saving 
machinery,  in  subduing  the  obstacles  which  space  interposes  to  universal  trade 
and  commerce. 

Steam  and  electricity  have  almost  annihilated  time  and  space,  and  brought 
the  whole  world  fnto  neighborhood  reJations. 

Under  these  influences,  the  condition  of  the  world  is  being  revolutionized, 
and  man  is  rapidly  advancing.  The  merchant  is  the  real  missionary,  and  the 
sum  of  human  happiness  is  incomparably  greater  than  in  those  days  of  war 
and  knight-errantry,  of  Avhich  poets  and  sentimentalists  so  often  sing. 

Trade  and  commerce  always  keep  pace  with,  and  are  generally  the  liarbiu- 
gers  of  civilization. 

A  moment's  reflection  upon  the  date  of  the  origin  of  the  modern  instrumen- 
talities of  commerce  will  illustrate  this.  A  policy  of  insurance,  a  bill  of 
exchange,  a  promissory  note,  banks  and  ])ank-notos,  are  all  of  comparatively 
modern  origin. 

These  instrumentalities  have  perhaps  been  scarcely  less  effective  in  promo- 
ting commerce,  than  the  mariner's  compass,  the  steam  engine,  the  telegraph 
and  the  railroad. 

In  feudal  times,  and  wherever  the  feudal  system  left  its  impress,  trade  and 
commerce  were  degraded,  and  its  followers  were  a  proscribed  class.  The  sol- 
dier looked  with  contempt  upon  the  merchant. 

In  America  it  has  always  been  different,  as  was  early  illustrated,  when  a 
Boston  merchant,  John  Hancock,  was   called  to  preside  over  the  Congress  of 
Independence — a  distinction  to  which  history  has  already  awarded  a  higher 
meed  than  belongs  to  occupants  of  thrones. 
*An  Address,  delivered  at  the  dedication  of  the  new  rooms  of  the  Chicago  Mercantile  College. 


54  EDUCATION  OF  THE  MERCHANT. 

And  this  change  so  inaugurated  by  the  elevation  of  the  Boston  merchant, 
has  rapidly  extended  throughout  the  civilized  world. 

The  contest  for  supremacy  among  the  nations  of  to-day,  is  not  at  the  tour- 
nament, nor  on  the  field  of  the  cloth  of  gold,  nor  at  those  "gentle  passages  of 
arms,"  so  graphically  described  by  Sir  Walter  Scott.  Nor  is  it  on  the  battle 
field, 

"  Where  furious  Frank  and  fiery  Ilun 
Shout,  midst  their  sulpli'rous  canopy  ;" 

nor  yet  is  it  on  the  ocean,  where  armadas  fight  for  naval  glory. 

The  "  World's  Fair"  at  London  is  our  modern  field  of  glory.  The  tourna- 
ment of  to-day  is  beneath  the  dome  of  the  Crystal  Palace,  dedicated  to  indus- 
try. The  naval  contests  now  are  between  the  Collins  and  Cunard  lines  of 
steamships,  or  at  Cowes,  in  which  the  victory  of  a  New-York  yacht  carrying 
off  the  prize  electrifies  two  continents. 

The  Leviathan  of  to-day  would  override  and  sink  the  famed  Spanish  Armada 
without  checking  her  speed. 

The  knights  who  carry  off  the  highest  laurels  are  your  Stephensous,  your 
Morses,  your  McCormicks,  yonr  Sir  Joseph  Paxtons,  your  Grinnells,  your 
Kanes. 

The  result  of  this  revolution  is,  that  the  merchant  of  to-day  is  the  man  of 
the  age.  He  is  too  busy  to  be  a  politician ;  he  has  not  time  to  accept  place. 
He  is  sending  his  ships  to  China,  to  California,  to  Australia.  He  is  construct- 
ing a  telegraph  across  the  Atlantic,  building  a  railroad  across  a  continent. 

And  thus,  by  the  exercise  of  an  energy  and  an  intellect  equal  to  that  of  the 
greatest  of  the  earth,  the  merchant  h?>s  made  commerce  the  commanding  in- 
terest.    It  is  limited  only  by  the  habitable  globe. 

In  its  origin,  you  trace  its  feeble  efforts,  as  it  crept  along  the  shores  of  the 
Mediterranean,  the  Caspian,  and  the  Euxine.  Now,  it  penetrates  every  inlet, 
explores  every  land.  From  the  tropics  to  the  poles,  no  river,  bay,  harbor,  sea 
or  ocean,  but  is  whitened  with  its  sails.  Girdling  the  waters  with  steamships 
and  the  land  with  railroads,  it  breaks  down  the  barriers  of  country  and  race, 
and  brings  men  to  recognize  their  universal  brotherhood.  This  universal  in- 
tercourse spreads  the  thoughts,  the  inventions,  the  discoveries,  the  improve- 
ments in  the  intellectual,  material  and  moral  world  to  the  uttermost  ends  of  the 
earth.  McCormick's  Keaper  is  relieving  the  toil  of  the  laborer  on  the  wheat 
fields  of  France,  Australia,  and  California,  as  well  as  on  the  prairies  of  Illi- 
nois. So  commerce  brings  to  us  the  products  of  the  forest  and  the  field,  the 
sea  and  the  land  of  every  clime ;  the  gold  and  the  diamond,  the  spices,  the 
fruits  of  the  tropics,  and  the  furs  of  the  North,  the  flowers  of  China  and  Japan, 
the  evergreens  of  Asia  and  Oregon;  so  that  in  these  days  not  a  flower  blooms 
beneath  the  universal  sun.  not  a  tree  or  plant  which  is  good  for  man  or  beast, 
but  by  this  universal  spirit  of  commerce  is  brought  to  us,  and  made  to  con- 
tribute to  our  comfort  or  our  pleasure.  While  at  the  same  time,  as  Channing 
eloquently  says  ■.  '•  Commerce  carries  the  missionary  and  the  school,  the  Bible 
and  the  Cross.'"' 


EDUCATION  OF  THE  MERCHANT.  55 

The  structures  dedicated  to  commerce  arc  emblematic  of  the  power  of  our 
merchant  princes.  The  warehouse,  the  depot,  and  the  exchange,  rival  in  exte- 
rior magnificence  the  palaces  of  the  Ca3sars.  Here,  in  our  own  city,  the  crea- 
tion of  a  da^',  we  see  that  trade  and  commerce  have  summoned  the  iron  from 
the  mine,  and  the  marble  from  the  quai-ry,  to  rear  structures  which  already 
surpass  the  feudal  castle. 

How  strikingly  does  Great  Britain  exhibit  the  greatness  which  results  from 
commerce.  Formed  of  those  little  islands,  which  scarcely  dot  the  map  of  the 
world,  yet  she  is.  and  has  been  for  centuries,  the  leading  poAver  of  earth. 

By  means  of  her  commerce,  she  has  dotted  over  the  surface  of  the  whole 
globe  with  her  possessions  and  military  posts,  and  (to  use  the  figure  of  "Webster) 
'•Iler  morning  drums'  beat  following  the  sun,  and  keeping  pace  with  the  hours, 
circle  the  earth  daily  with  one  continuous  and  unbroken  strain  of  the  martial 
airs  of  Old  England." 

And  yet  it  is  to  her  trading,  more  than  to  her  iniUlayy  posts,  to  her  merchants 
equally  with  her  soldiers,  that  England  is  indebted  for  her  su^iremacy. 

This  tendency  of  the  age  to  devote  its  intellectual  power  to  material  devel- 
opment and  commerce,  is  perhaps  more  apparent  in  the  United  States,  than 
anywhere  else,  and  no  other  nation  has  more  strikingly  exhibited  the  results. 
Here  commerce  has  ever  been  comparatively  unshackled  and  free  :  it  has  al- 
ways been  regarded  with  pride,  and  fostered  with  care.  The  consequence  is, 
that  America's  "  account  current"  with  the  world  is  gratifying  to  our  national 
pride. 

The  power  of  the  human  intellect  applied  to  material  advancement  has 
nowhere  been  more  strikingly  exhibited  than  here  in  our  own  city.  These 
radiating  railroads,  stretching  in  every  direction  from  this  common  centre, 
pour  into  this  great  granary  the  agricultural  products  of  the  finest  portion  of 
the  continent,  making  Chicago  the  greatest  grain  mart  in  the  world.  Tlie 
commerce  that  floats  on  j^onder  lakes^  equaling  the  entire  foreign  commerce 
of  the  Union,  exhibits  the  extent  and  richness  of  Western  trade,  and  of  the 
enterprise,  energy,  sagacity,  and  powei',  to  which  it  has  been  so  rapidly  de- 
veloped. 

This  Commercial  College,  then,  which  you  are  about  to  inaugurate,  has 
grown  out  of  the  necessity  of  things.  It  comes  to  meet  a  want ;  it  is  a  neces- 
sity, and  it  is  on  the  spot  where  that  necessity  is  most  felt.  Our  commercial 
classes,  those  who  control  such  vast  interests,  whose  influence  on  our  material 
progress  is  so  great,  need  a  peculiar  training  to  enable  them  to  discharge  the 
duties  which  belong  to  their  position. 

It  is  fit  that  here,  where  they  are  to  achieve  their  victories,  they  should  be 
trained  for  the  race. 

I  propose  to  submit  a  few  suggestions  as  to  what  constitutes  that  wliich  your 
college  is  designed  to  produce — the  True  American  Merchant. 

The  basis  of  all,  the  cardinal  virtue,  is  Integrity.  Without  this  he  may  pos- 
sess all  knowledge,  industi-y,  tact,  and  sagacity,  but  he  will  prove  a  fiiilure. 
Truth  and  integrity  are  to  the  merchant  like  courage  to  the  soldier,  and  chas- 
tity to  woman,  the  point  of  honor  to  be  preserved  with  as   much   care,  and 


56  EDUCATION  OF  THE  MERCHANT. 

guarded  as  jealously  from  stain  or  blemish.     Without  integrity,  though  he  has 
everything  else,  he  has  nothing. 

No  pecuniary  sacrifice  but  should  be  welcomed  rather  than  do  that  which 
wears  the  least  appearance  of  fi-aud  or  dishonesty.  I  have  practiced  law  from  the 
financial  embarrassments  of  1837  to  those  of  1857,  and  the  result  of  much  observa- 
tion is,  that  as  a  matter  of  interest  alone,  the  merchant  should  preserve  his  credit 
for  honesty  at  any  pecuniary  sacrifice.  You  cannot,  in  my  judgment,  too 
sti'ongly  impress  upon  all  the  extreme  folly,  as  well  as  criminality,  of  the 
whole  catalogue  of  evasions,  delays,  transfers,  and  frauds,  to  prevent,  hinder, 
or  delay  the  prompt  payment  or  collection  of  a  debt.  The  dishonest  creditor 
will  generally — not  always — find  lawyers  whose  aid  in  such  purposes  can  be 
purchased  ,•  but  these  efforts  are  all  illegal,  dishonorable,  miserable  follies — 
temporary  expedients,  but  permanent  evils.  You  cannot  impress  too  strongly 
on  the  student  of  commerce,  that  perfect  candor,  truthfulness  clear  and  open 
as  the  daj'',  honesty  which  never  under  any  temptation  withholds,  denies,  or 
delays  that  which  belongs  to  another,  are  as  cfEcicut  in  securing  success  as  in 
attracting  respect  and  admiration.  Such  qualities  have  always  a  market  value, 
which  secures  to  their  possessor  his  own  position  and  price.  Capital  solicits 
his  acceptance  ;  station,  confidence,  business,  success,  follow  his  footsteps.  It 
is  the  glory  of  Commerce,  that  she  has  among  her  followers  such  men,  not  too 
many — but  yet  some.  There  are  those  of  whom  it  may  be  truly  said  *•'  His 
word  is  as  good  as  his  bond."  There  are  men  upon  whose  character  integrity 
has  been  so  impressed,  that  their  word,  like  pure  gold,  will  pass  all  over  the 
civilized  world.  Men  who  have  never  seen  them,  strangers  separated  from 
them  by  half  the  world,  are  willing  to  trust  whole  flotillas  of  com- 
merce to  their  fidelity  and  care.  People  insure  against  the  treachery  of  the 
winds  and  waves,  fire  and  the  elements,  but  feel  that  if  their  property  once 
reaches  the  custody  of  this  honest  man,  it  is  safe.  Such  a  man  is  indeed 
"the  noblest  work  of  God.'"  Ilis  integrity  is  better  to  him  than  caj^ital. 
You  will  teach  truth,  if  you  teach  that  fraud,  falsehood  and  dishonesty,  are 
blunders  as  well  as  crimes.  When  the  Chicago  merchant  sees  his  whole  prop- 
erty stored  in  the  warehouses  of  Buffalo,  Oswego,  New-York,  and  Boston, 
and  knows  there  is  vigilance  to  care  for  it,  activity  to  dispose  of  it,  truth  to 
account  for  it,  and  honesty  to  send  it  back  again,  in  an  increasing  tide  of  opu- 
lence, there  is  exhibited  that  trust,  security  and  confidence  which  are  the  life- 
blood  of  commerce,  and  which  result  in  mutual  advantage  and  general  pros- 
perity. But  where  a  fraud  is  perpetrated,  a  shock  is  given  to  the  whole 
system;  all  suffer,  the  innocent  and  the  guilty;  and  he  who  perpetrates  it  is  a 
traitor  to  his  craft,  as  well  as  to  his  creditor. 

May  I  be  allowed  to  add,  that  a  perfect  merchant  should  be  a  true  Christian  ? 
I  mean  not  the  ostentatious  professor,  who  makes  long  jirayers  and  conspicu- 
ous contributions.  But  any  man,  in  any  position,  will  inspire  more  confidence 
and  achieve  a  higher  success,  who  sincerely  believes  and  humbly  strives  to 
carry  out  in  his  daily  life  the  sublime  teachings  of  the  Bible.  With  the  moral 
basis  of  integrity  and  truth,  with  general  intelligence,  with  habits  of  industry 


/ 


EDUCATION  OF  THE  MERCHANT.  57 

and  economy,  the  perfect  merchant  needs  pleasing  manners,  agreeable  address, 
tact,  good  temper  and  decision — the  ability  to  say  '•  No"  with  emphasis. 

It  is  not  to  be  denied,  that,  with  very  many  bright  exceptions,  still  the 
standard  of  commercial  honor  is  too  low.  There  is  one  conceded  fact  which 
illustrates  this — for  the  existence  of  which  not  the  mercantile  class  alone,  but 
tlie  bar  and  the  judiciary  share  the  responsibility.  I  allude  to  the  fact  that 
fraud  and  violations  of  trust,  when  committed  on  a  large  scale,  generally  go 
unpunished.  It  is  Otherwise  in  England.  This  must  be  changed  and  cor- 
rected here,  or  the  fabric  of  our  commercial  prosperity  will  be  undermined. 
The  banker  who  embezzles  by  the  thousand,  the  railroad  president  who  plun- 
ders a  corporation,  the  public  officer  who  proves  a  defaulter,  must  be  punished 
as  certainly  and  severely  as  the  horse-thief.  When  this  is  done,  we  shall  have 
a  high  standard  of  public  and  private  morals. 

When  I  enumerate  general  intelligence  and  varied  culture  as  one  of  the 
qualifications  of  the  perfect  merchant,  I  mention  something  within  the  reach 
of  all.  Tlie  examples  of  Franklin,  of  Elihu  Burritt,  and  many  others,  show 
what  may  be  accomplished  by  application.  The  man  who  aims  at  a  leading 
position  as  a  merchant,  will  find  a  knowledge  of  the  modern  languages  and  of 
commercial  law  almost  a  necessity. 

You  will  scarcely  need  to  teach  your  students  how  to  acquire.  Young 
America  seems  to  understand  that  pretty  well,  by  intuition.  How  to  use.  and 
bow  to  spend,  is  not  less  important.  With  health,  good  habits  ii,nd  industry, 
wealth — at  least  a  competence — is  within  the  reach  of  all.  But  the  true 
philosopliT/  of  use — to  use  wealth  so  as  to  render  it  most  useful  to  its  possessor, 
to  his  family,  his  city,  his  country — this  requires  much  more  study,  and  much 
higher  qualities,  than  merely  to  acquire.  Upon  this  point  I  have  only  time  to 
say,  that  in  our  country  private  munificence  stands  in  place  of  public  endow- 
ments. To  the  mercantile  class,  the  men  who  accumulate  large  fortunes,  we 
must  look  for  the  endowment  of  our  charitable  institutions,  our  colleges  and 
universities,  our  public  libraries  and  galleries  of  art.  To  our  merchant  princes 
we  must  also  look,  to  supply  the  means  to  those  generous  and  benevolent  in- 
stitutions which  embellish  the  age,  and  which  will  go  down  to  futurity  as  one 
of  its  noblest  distinctions.  That  our  great  merchants  appreciate  these  require- 
ments, and  are  ambitious  of  associating  their  names  with  worthy  enterprises, 
the  Astor  Library,  Girard  College,  the  Cooper  Institute,  and  many  others  less 
ambitious,  but  not  less  meritorious,  sufficiently  indicate. 

I  am  proud  to  add  that  there  are  already  indications,  which  I  will  not 
specify,  which  assure  us  that  the  wealth  of  Chicago  is,  to  a  considerable 
extent,  in  the  hands  of  those  who  appreciate  the  claims  of  art,  of  learning, 
and  humanity. 

The  commercial  man  is  exposed  to  peculiar  dangers ;  and,  among  others 
none  is  more  disgusting  and  degrading  than  an  inordinate  love  of  wealth.  The 
accumulation  of  vast  fortunes,  by  the  exertion  of  stupendous  energies  and 
intellectual  powers,  is  a  curse  or  a  blessing,  as  it  falls  into  noble,  or  vile  and 
sordid  hands.  Nothing  is  more  disgusting,  nothing  more  coarsely  vulgar,  than 
mere  wealth,  with  its  silly  arrogance,  unembellished  by  taste,  without  the  orna- 


58 


EDUCAT10^f  OF  THE  MERCHANT. 


meut  of  liberal  culture,  and  unhallowed  by  virtue.  A  man  who  has  nothing 
but  wealth  to  be  proud  of,  should  be  humble  indeed. 

There  is  another  topic,  to  which  I  trust  I  shall  bo  pardoned  for  making  a 
passing  allusion.  There  is  a  feeling  existing  to  some  extent,  that  in  these  days 
the  conuncrcial  classes  are  not  the  most  sensitive  to  the  encroachments  of 
wrong  and  oppression — that,  as  a  class,  they  do  not  feel  the  first  approaches 
of  danger  to  the  great  principles  on  which  our  free  institutions  are  based. 
They  are  sometimes  charged  with  being  willing  to  barter,  for  peace  and  gain, 
the  right  to  be  true.  Some  afi'cct  to  doubt  whether,  in  these  days,  very  many 
such  merchants  as  John  Hancock  would  be  found,  who,  when  he  attached  his 
name  to  the  Declaration  of  ludependeuce,  heard  unmoved  the  exclauiation, 
'•  There  goes  half  a  million."  In  so  f\ir  as  there  is  truth  in  these  reproaches, 
if  there  is  any,  the  course  of  the  merchant  is  suicidal — for  liberty  is  the  very 
air  and  life  of  commerce.  England  and  America,  the  freest,  are  also  the  most 
commercial  nations  of  the  world — and  I  am  proud  to  add,  that  if  such  re- 
proaches can  be  justly  made  against  the  commercial  class  of  any  city,  they 
cannot  be  justly  made  against  the  merchants  of  Chicago.  No  disloyalty  to 
freedom  can  be  charged  against  them. 

This  school,  then,  will  strive  to  train  its  pupils  to  adopt  as  their  model  the 
perfect  merchant ;  who,  while  engaged  in  the  engrossing  pursuits  of  commerce, 
will  never  forget  that  he  is  a  citizen  and  a  man.  Go  forward,  then,  in  your 
teaching — and  while  you  instruct  in  the  way  to  acquire,  teach  also  how  to  use, 
and  how  to  spend.  "While  you  point  out  to  your  pupil  the  path  to  success, 
teach  also,  that  there  is  something  higher  and  better  than  success.  Teach  him 
that  wealth,  without  culture  or  worth,  instead  of  being  a  badge  of  honor,  only 
I'enders  the  ignorance,  the  vice,  the  rudeness  of  the  possessor  the  more  con- 
spicuous. Teach  that  wealth  is  only  valuable  as  a  means.  Show  to  him  that 
the  successful  merchant  is  the  trustee  of  his  property,  which  has  been  placed 
in  his  hands  to  be  used  for  useful  purposes.  Teach  him  what  he  owes  to  him- 
self, to  his  family,  to  religion,  to  letters,  to  his  country.  To  himself,  the  suc- 
cessful merchant  owes  the  highest  culture  which  circumstances  will  permit. 
To  his  family,  the  best  education,  a  home  of  comfort,  of  elegance,  of  taste 
and  hospitality — where  books,  and  flowers,  and  works  of  art,  shall  cultivate 
the  love  of  the  true,  the  pure,  and  the  beautiful.  To  religion  he  owes  liberal 
support  and  aid,  as  the  basis  of  all  individual  happiness  and  national  pros- 
perity. To  him  the  community  have  a  right  to  look  for  aid  for  their  colleges, 
their  public  libraries,  their  galleries  of  art,  their  public  charities  and  hospi- 
tals. In  so  far  as  this  institution  aids  in  the  training  of  such  men,  it  will 
itself  become  an  institution  of  great  benefit,  and  its  teachers  and  founders, 
public  benefactors.

OPINIONS  OP  THE  PRESS. 

"We  have  at  hand  more  than  five  hundred  favorable  notices  of  our  enterprise,  from 
the  various  newspapers  of  the  country.  Of  course  we  can  publish  but  a  very  few 
of  them  ;  and  this  we  do,  not  so  much  to  establish  our  claims  to  popular  favor,  as 
to  exhibit  some  evidences  of  the  importance  which  is  attached  to  a  thorough  com- 
mercial education,  wherever  the  fruits  of  our  labor  are  manifest.  The  notices  are 
eelected  almost  at  random  :

enable  him  to  preserve  a  multiplicity  of  business  affairs  from  disorder  without  a  knowledge  of  ac- 
counts. Whoever  indulges  such  an  idea  will  be  most  likel}',  sooner  or  later,  to  find  hi.s  affair.s  in- 
volved in  disorder  and  dilliculiies,  from  which  he  may  discover  too  late  it  is  impossible  to  extricate 
them.  We  therefore  advise  all  to  secure  a  knowledge  of  the  science  and  art  of  Bookkeeping  at  their 
earliest  convenience.  We  know  of  no  place  where  butter  advantages  for  the  accomplishment  of  this 
object  can  be  found  than  in  "  Bryant  &  Stratton's  Chain  of  National  Mercantile  CoUcgjs."  One  of 
the  most  perfect  and  efficient  links  of  which  is  located  in  our  own  city.  Its  evening  classes  aro 
now  in  session.

Pekjiasship. — Among  the  samples  of  art  which  attract  universal  attention  may  be  mentioned  the 
beautiful  specimens  of  ornamental  and  business  writing,  placed  on  exhibition  by  Messrs.  Bryant  & 
Stratton,  of  the  Commercial  College.  There  is  a  complete  set  of  Railroad  books  in  elegant  bind- 
ing, the  penmanship  being  executed  by  one  of  their  students.  Tlie  writing  is  in  a  plain  business  hand 
devoid  of  display,  but  elegant  and  chaste  in  the  extreme.'  There  is  a  specimen  of  ornamental  wri- 
ting, executed  by  Mr.  Lusk,  which  will  bear  the  most  critical  examination,  and  compare  with  any- 
thing of  the  kind  ever  attempted.  An  Allegory  of  the  "  Progress  of  America,"  is  represented  upon 
it,  and  is  a  model  in  the  way  of  pen-drawing. 

There  are  many  spijciraens  wliich  we  would  like  to  mention  did  our  spice  permit.  A  portrait  of 
P.  R.  Spencer,  author  of  the  Spencerian  .system,  executed  by  Lyman  P.  Spencer,  aged  IB  years,  is  a 
wonderful  specimen  of  the  perfection  to  which  pen-drawing  is  carried  For  a  young  lad,  this  piece 
is  worthy  of  all  praise.  They  call  particular  attention  to  their  business  and  ornamental  writing  in 
which  branches  they  challenge  the  world. 

{From  the  Erie  Constitutional] 

At  the  New-York  State  Fair,  as  everybody  expected,  the  specimens  of  Penman.ship,  &c.,  from 
Brj^ant  &  Stratton's  colleges  took  the  first  premium.  Their  Colleges  are  already  high  in  the  list 
among  the  lir^t  institutions  in  the  Union.  In  every  department  they  are  conceded  to  be  perfect — 
or  as  near  perfection  as  human  perseverance  and  skill  have  yet  arrived.  Their  Colleges  are  located 
at  Albany,  Buffalo,  Cleveland,  and  Chicago,  and  the  facilities  for  obtaining  a  finished  commercial 
education  are  not  surpas.;ed,  and  rarely  equalled,  by  any  other  Colleges  on  the  globe.  Voung  men 
desiring  to  acquire  a  thorough  business  training  cannot  do  better  than  to  place  themselves  under 
the  instruction  of  Messrs.  Bryant  &  Stratton,  and  their  able  corps  of  assistants.  For  full  particu- 
lars see  advertisement. 

[From  the  Medina  Tribune.] 

The  Result  OF  Energy. — The  result  of  energy  rightly  applied  is  nowhere  more  observable  and 
remarkable  than  in  the  success  that  has  attended  the  enterprise  of  Messrs.  Bryant  &  Stratton  of 
establishing  a  chain  of  mercantile  Colleges  of  the  highest  order  throughout  the  United  States. 
There  are  but  few  men  of  capital  that  would  have  taken  the  risk  of  so  large  an  outlay  in  such  an 
enterprise.  But  backed  by  indomitable  energy,  the  ri.sk  has  so  far  proven  to  be  a  sxfe  one,  and  these 
gentlemen  have  now  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  they  have  been  successful;  that  the  facilities 
they  have  furni.shcd  for  the  advancement  of  their  department  of  education  have  been  appreciated 
by  the  public,  and,  as  a  consequence,  that  their  rooms  have  been  filled  to  overllowing.
